pairon mein kai zaKHm hain chehre pe thakan hai

pairon mein kai zakhm hain chehre pe thakan hai
mazdur ke mathe pe pasina na shikan hai
mausam hai bahaaron ka 'ajab si ye ghutan hai
zakhmi mere gulzar ke har phul ka tan hai


allah ki qasam hum hain mohabbat ke pujari
sajde bhi hamare hain hamara hi bhajan hai
mar kar bhi meri ruh se aaegi ye aawaz
ye mera watan mera watan mera watan hai


karte hi nahin log buzurgon se koi baat
kahte hain purane kahan sikkon ka chalan hai
rah jaegi rakhi hui duniya ki tamanna
'arshad' teri qismat mein agar tera watan hai
