ek jism-e-na-tawan itni dabaon ka hujum
ek charagh-e-subh aur itni hawaon ka hujum

manzilen gum aur itne rahnumaon ka hujum
e'tiqad-e-kham aur itne khudaon ka hujum

kashmakash mein apne hi mabad se katraata hua
aadmi phirta tha dar dar thokaren khata hua

haq ko hoti thi har ek maidan mein baatil se shikast
sar-nigun sar-dar-gareban sar-basar the zerdast

fan tha ek matlab-barari log the matlab-parast
is-qadar bigda hua tha zindagi ka bandobast

hami-e-jaur-o-sitam har tarah mala-mal tha
jis ki lathi thi usi ki bhains thi ye haal tha

kya khuda ka khauf kaisa jazba-e-hubb-e-watan
barsar-e-paikar the aapas mein shaikh-o-barahman

baghban jo the wo khud the mahw-e-takhrib-e-chaman
al-gharaz bigdi hui thi anjuman ki anjuman

mazhab-e-insaniyat ka pasban koi na tha
karwan lakhon the mir-e-karwan koi na tha

ruh-e-insan ne khuda ke samne fariyaad ki
jo zamin par ho raha tha sab bayan rudad ki

aur kaha had ho chuki hai kufr ki ilhad ki
ek duniya muntazir hai aap ke irshad ki

tab ye farmaya khuda ne sab ko samjhaunga main
aadmi ka rup dhaaran kar ke khud aaunga main

is tarah aakhir hua duniya mein nanak ka zuhur
farsh-e-tilwandi pe utra arsh se rabb-e-ghafur

uth gaya zulmat ka dera badha har samt nur
mamba-e-anwar se phailin shuaen dur dur

mehr-e-taban ne do-alam mein ujala kar diya
aadmi ne aadmi ka bol-baala kar diya
