rahbar-e-qaum samajh le ye haqiqat hai badi
qaum chhoti hai magar is ki riwayat hai badi

chadar-o-qamat-e-faruq pe rakhte hain nazar
ehtisab un ka kada aur itaat hai badi

rahbar badla to phir se safar aaghaz hua
dasht-e-gum-rah mein is taur masafat hai badi

kya idare the jo tute hain ana ki khatir
un ki tafsil na puchho ye hikayat hai badi

aaj bhi husn-e-bayan parda-e-amal bana
aaj ke daur mein bhi harf ki taqat hai badi

ahl-e-dil teri wafaon ki qasam khate hain
bar-sar-e-ku-e-jafa bhi teri shohrat hai badi

dard ki mauj ubharti hai tere nam ke sath
duriyan lakh sahi pyar ki qurbat hai badi
