mulk ki haalat pe sinon se dhuan uthta nahin
saz-e-dil khamosh hain shor-e-fughan uthta nahin

kis liye aankhon se tufan-e-nihan uthta nahin
phul raunde ja rahe hain baghban uthta nahin

be-hisi ki intiha hai hosh mein aate nahin
zillaton par zillaten hoti hain sharmate nahin

shoala-e-ehsas bujhta hai hawa de do use
qaumiyat dam todti hai kuchh dawa de do use

mulk mitne ko hai paigham-e-baqa de do use
mutmain baithe ho dil sine mein ghabraata nahin

qaum ke dam todne par bhi taras aata nahin
sans le kar is faza mein ruh ghabraati nahin

jauhar-e-ehsas-e-khuddari ko sharm aati nahin
tum ko nadari watan ki khak tadpati nahin

ye ghulami ki bala hairat hai kha jati nahin
zindagi ko dawat-e-sad-marg dena chahiye

maut ki aaghosh mein aaram lena chahiye
chhod do nakaami-e-qismat ke shikwe chhod do

kuchh bhi himmat hai to ye tauq-o-salasil tod do
auj ki jaanib nigah-e-sharmagin ko mod do

rifat-e-mazi se phir taqdir-e-farda jod do
sach to ye hai qaum ke bas tum alam-bardar ho

ta-ba-kai ye khwab-e-ghaflat so chuke bedar ho
