surat-e-barq-e-tapan shoala-fagan utthe hain
azm-e-nau le ke jawanan-e-watan utthe hain

hifz-e-namus-e-mohabbat ke liye diwane
apne dil mein liye marne ki lagan utthe hain

rukh zamane ki hawaon ka badalne wale
aaj dale hue mathe pe shikan utthe hain

paikar-e-mehr-o-wafa hum hain magar majburan
hath mein tegh liye ghalghala-zan utthe hain

aanch namus-e-watan par nahin aane denge
ab to hum bandhe hue sar se kafan utthe hain

chand lamhat ke mehman nazar aate hain
wo bagule jo sar-e-sehn-e-chaman utthe hain

ab andheron se kaho khair manaen apni
zarre dharti ke meri ban ke kiran utthe hain

jab bhi aaya hai kada waqt chaman par 'mansha'
le ke hum hausla-e-fitna-shikan utthe hain
