ye tira-bakht bayanon mein qaid rahte hain
watan hamare taranon mein qaid rahte hain

khudi se dur rag-e-ha-e-sang mein sakit
mere yaqin gumanon mein qaid rahte hain

sadak pe khwahishen be-nam-o-nang phirti hain
zamin ke khwab zamanon mein qaid rahte hain

kaha falak ne ye udte hue parindon se
zamin pe log makanon mein qaid rahte hain

mere khuda ne kaha hai ki har jagah hai wo
tere khuda to fasanon mein qaid rahte hain
