ye raza-e-rabb-e-jalil thi
ki nabi ne sair ki arsh ki

koi soya saya-e-tegh mein
to raza-e-rabb-e-jali mili

kabhi tur pe hui intiha
ki khuda bhi jalwa-numa hua

kabhi rahmaton ka nuzul tha
kabhi ishq ka ye husul tha

ki nihayat us ki husain tha
kahin aarzu-e-watan hui

kahin khamushi bhi sukhan hui
kahin chahaton ka khiraj tha
