salamat rahen dil mein ghar karne wale
is ujde makan mein basar karne wale

gale par chhuri kyun nahin pher dete
asiron ko be-baal-o-par karne wale

andhere ujale kahin to milenge
watan se hamein dar-ba-dar karne wale

gareban mein munh dal kar khud to dekhen
burai pe meri nazar karne wale

is aaina-khane mein kya sar uthate
haqiqat par apni nazar karne wale

bahaar-e-do-roza se dil kya bahalta
khabar kar chuke the khabar karne wale

khade hain do-rahe pe dair o haram ke
teri justuju mein safar karne wale

sar-e-sham gul ho gai sham-e-baalin
salamat hain ab tak sahar karne wale

kuja sehn-e-alam kuja kunj-e-marqad
basar kar rahe hain basar karne wale

'yagana' wahi fateh-e-lakhknau hain
dil-e-sang-o-ahan mein ghar karne wale
