zamana uf ye kaisa ho raha hai
jo sidha tha wo ulta ho raha hai

ab ahl-e-ilm mein tarikiyan hain
jahaalat mein sawera ho raha hai

wahan par zindagi kaise bachegi
jahan qatil masiha ho raha hai

bashar ka maqsad-e-takhliq dekho
use hona tha kya kya ho raha hai

ye hai taqlid-e-maghrib ka natija
juda muslim se parda ho raha hai

hamari rast-goi kaam aai
wafa hona tha wada ho raha hai

jamal-e-fikr-o-fan ka tere 'anwar'
sukhan-danon mein charcha ho raha hai
