sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil mein hai
dekhna hai zor kitna bazu-e-qatil mein hai

ai shahid-e-mulk-o-millat main tere upar nisar
le teri himmat ka charcha ghair ki mahfil mein hai

wae qismat panw ki ai zoaf kuchh chalti nahin
karwan apna abhi tak pahli hi manzil mein hai

rahraw-e-rah-e-mohabbat rah na jaana rah mein
lazzat-e-sahra-nawardi duri-e-manzil mein hai

shauq se rah-e-mohabbat ki musibat jhel le
ek khushi ka raaz pinhan jada-e-manzil mein hai

aaj phir maqtal mein qatil kah raha hai bar bar
aaen wo shauq-e-shahadat jin ke jin ke dil mein hai

marne walo aao ab gardan katao shauq se
ye ghanimat waqt hai khanjar kaf-e-qatil mein hai

mane-e-izhaar tum ko hai haya, hum ko adab
kuchh tumhaare dil ke andar kuchh hamare dil mein hai

mai-kada sunsan khum ulte pade hain jam chur
sar-nigun baitha hai saqi jo teri mahfil mein hai

waqt aane de dikha denge tujhe ai aasman
hum abhi se kyun bataen kya hamare dil mein hai

ab na agle walwale hain aur na wo arman ki bhid
sirf mit jaane ki ek hasrat dil-e-'bismil' mein hai
