rang ka farq mitaya ye sharaf mera tha
sang-e-aswad tha mera durr-e-najaf mera tha

subh-e-baiat ki wo zahrili hawa teri thi
aur jo phul tha shamshir-ba-kaf mera tha

rah ke pani mein bhi pani se bahut dur raha
tha jo dariya mein wafaon ka sadaf mera tha

din-o-duniya mein rahi jang andhere ke sabab
subh ke waqt magar meri taraf mera tha

us ko karna hi pada sar mera uncha 'saulat'
aaj neze ne bhi samjha jo sharaf mera tha
