israel misr jang mein colonel nasir ke nare
hum bete firaun ke se mutassir ho kar

yahi wo kohsar hain jahan
musht-e-khak nur-ashna hui thi

yahi wo zarraat-e-reg hain
jo kisi ke betab walihana qadam

ki thokar se
kahkashan kahkashan hue the

yahi wo pathrili wadiyan hain
ki jin ki aaghosh-e-khushk mein

do dhadakte masum dil mile the
aur aaj har-su

hai dud-e-barud ki rida
jis mein har kiran raushni ki

madum ho gai hai
ujad sangin wadiyon mein

hawas ka ifrit
gosfandan-e-arz-e-madyan ko

kha gaya hai
na koi bint-e-shoaib hai

aur na rahraw-e-tishna hi hai koi
kuen ke pas mein

jauhari zahr ghul gaya hai
tajalli-e-lam-yazal kahan ki

ye tez sanginon ki chamak hai
kalim hi jab nahin hai koi

kalam kaisa
muhib topon ki ye dhamak hai

kisi ke masum walihana qadam ki
ye kahkashan nahin hai

ye reg-ha-e-zamin hi hain
jo aahani aslahon ki aatish mein tap gae hain

sawad-e-sahil
asa-ba-dast ab nahin hai koi

to moajiza kya tilism kaisa
ye sath-e-dariya-e-nil gul-gu jo ho gai hai

asa ka eajaz to nahin
ye rida-e-khun hai rida-e-khun hai

ye khun kis ka hai
ai dil-e-zud-ranj to kyun udas hai

khair-o-shar ki ye kashmakash nahin hai
ki donon jaanib hi

aastin-e-hawas mein
firauniyat ke zahrile azhdahe hain

sawad-e-sahil
asa-ba-dast ab nahin hai koi
