nae jhagde nirali kawishen ijad karte hain
watan ki aabru ahl-e-watan barbaad karte hain

hawa mein ud ke sair-e-alam-e-ijad karte hain
farishte dang hain wo kaam aadam-zad karte hain

naya maslak naya rang-e-sukhan ijad karte hain
urus-e-sher ko hum qaid se aazad karte hain

mata-e-pas-e-ghairat bul-hawas barbaad karte hain
lab-e-khamosh ko sharminda-e-faryaad karte hain

hawa-e-taza pa kar bostan ko yaad karte hain
asiran-e-qafas waqt-e-sahar fariyaad karte hain

zara ai kunj-e-marqad yaad rakhna us hamiyyat ko
ki ghar viran kar ke hum tujhe aabaad karte hain

har ek khisht-e-kuhan afsana-e-derina kahti hai
zaban-e-haal se tute khandar fariyaad karte hain

bala-e-jaan hain ye tasbih aur zunnar ke phande
dil-e-haq-bin ko hum is qaid se aazad karte hain

azan dete hain but-khane mein ja kar shan-e-momin se
haram ke nara-e-naqus hum ijad karte hain

nikal kar apne qalib se naya qalib basaegi
asiri ke liye hum ruh ko aazad karte hain

mohabbat ke chaman mein majma-e-ahbab rahta hai
nai jannat isi duniya mein hum aabaad karte hain

nahin ghatti meri aankhon mein tariki shab-e-gham ki
ye tare raushni apni abas barbaad karte hain

thake-mande musafir zulmat-e-sham-e-ghariban mein
bahaar-e-jalwa-e-subh-e-watan ko yaad karte hain

dil-e-nashad rota hai zaban uf kar nahin sakti
koi sunta nahin yun be-nawa fariyaad karte hain

janab-e-shaikh ko ye mashq hai yaad-e-ilahi ki
khabar hoti nahin dil ko zaban se yaad karte hain

nazar aati hai duniya ek ibaadat-gah-e-nurani
sahar ka waqt hai bande khuda ko yaad karte hain

sabaq umr-e-rawan ka dil-nashin hone nahin pata
hamesha bhulte jate hain jo kuchh yaad karte hain

zamane ka moallim imtihan un ka nahin karta
jo aankhen khol kar ye dars-e-hasti yaad karte hain

adab talim ka jauhar hai zewar hai jawani ka
wahi shagird hain jo khidmat-e-ustad karte hain

na jaani qadr teri umr-e-rafta hum ne collage mein
nikal aate hain aansu ab tujhe jab yaad karte hain
