sahra-e-la-hudud mein tishna-labi ki khair
mahaul-e-ashk-bar mein lab ki hansi ki khair

laffaz sare ban gae shah-e-sukhan yahan
sadiq sukhan-waron ki sukhan-parwari ki khair

mashriq mein hind-o-chin ke bazar yun badhe
jah-o-jalal-e-maghribo-bartanawi ki khair

hai auraton ki dhum zamin se falak talak
sai-e-baqa-e-shaukat-e-mardangi ki khair

arzan hai musht-e-khak se insan ki hayat
tahzib-e-qatl-o-khun mein ab zindagi ki khair

har samt qatl-e-am hai mazhab ke nam par
sari aqidaton ki khuda-parwari ki khair

jamhuriyat ki lash pe taqat hai khanda-zan
is barahna nizam mein har aadmi ki khair

sara watan samajh chuka dair-o-haram ka sach
bad-kar rahbaran ki bazigari ki khair

urdu ghazal ke nam pe chalte hain chutkule
ghaalib ke faiz 'mir' ki us sahiri ki khair

maghrib se aa gai yahan tahzib-e-barahna
mashriq teri riwayati pakizgi ki khair

andhe parakh rahe yahan mear-e-raushni
didawar-e-hunar teri dida-wari ki khair
