watan ki aan bachane mein pesh-dasti rahi
shubh mein phir bhi hamari watan-parasti rahi

payam-e-amn ke naron ka shor tha barpa
lagi thi aag jo basti mein wo dahakti rahi

samundaron ka bulawa tha wo bhi kya karta
guzarte abr ko pyasi zamin takti rahi

hawa na jaane badan kis ka chhu ke aai thi
gali hamari kai roz tak mahakti rahi

yahi hai qadron ki 'imran' pasbani kya
zamir marta gaya aur ana panapti rahi
