ye pyaade pit chuke hain sab
tumhaare feel aur asp-e-yazidi

khana-ba-khana pareshan
parda-ba-parda pasheman

la-ba-la ja-e-mafar ki rah mein sargardan
bisat-e-khun-chakan par

ret ki diwar nikla har bahadur
aur ab atraf mein shah ke

koi khandaq hai aur
na koi dasta hai hifazat ka

wazir-e-mohtaram ka khana khali hai
bisat-e-khun-chakan par

har bahadur ghutne teke
apne khane mein pareshan sar jhukae

hath sine se lagae
aalam-e-hairat se ek duje ko takta hai

tamashai khade chup-chap
patthar lab liye aur sans roke

bazi-e-shatranj par nazren jamae
mahw-e-manzar hain

ye manzar khub manzar hai ki jis mein
na-tawan hathon ne zor-awar ka nashsha

ek lamhe mein utara hai
ye pyaade pit chuke hain

aur tumhaare fil aur asp-e-yazidi
ab yahan sar-ba-gareban hain

wazir-e-mohtaram ka khana khali hai
bisat-e-khun-chakan par

mat hone mein
bas ek khane ki duri hai
