yaadgar-e-zamana hain hum log
sun rakho tum fasana hain hum log

khalq se ho gae hain begane
shayad us ke yagana hain hum log

kyun na har gul pe howen zamzama-sanj
bulbul-e-khush-tarana hain hum log

sab ke makhdum hain wale tere
khadim-e-astana hain hum log

tir-e-mizhgan hai kya bala jis ke
jaan-o-dil se nishana hain hum log

yar aage nikal gae hain kai
pichhe un ke rawana hain hum log

apne ji mein samajh tu zulf-e-daraaz
qabil-e-taziyana hain hum log

'muntazir' shakl-e-bulbul-e-wahshi
dushman-e-ashiyana hain hum log
