giri hai barq-e-tapan dil pe ye khabar sun kar
chadha diya hai bhagat-singh ko raat phansi par

utha hai nala-e-pur-dard se naya mahshar
jigar pe madar-e-bhaarat ke chal gae khanjar

shikasta-haal hua qaum ke habibon ka
badan mein khushk lahu ho gaya gharibon ka

abhi to qaum ne 'nehru' ka gham uthaya tha
abhi to das ki furqat ne hashr dhaya tha

abhi to hijr ka bismil ke zakhm khaya tha
abhi to koh-e-sitam charkh ne giraya tha

chale hain nawak-e-bedad phir kalejon par
ki aaj uth gae afsos naujawan rahbar

adu watan ko tashaddud se kya dabaenge
wo apne hath se fitne nae jagaenge

jo mulk-o-qaum ki dewi pe sar chadhaenge
nisar ho ke shahidon mein nam paenge

girega qatra-e-khun bhi jahan saputon ka
fida-e-hind wahan honge sainkadon paida

jahan se mulk-e-adam naunihaal jate hain
numayan kar ke sitam-kash ka haal jate hain

gira ke hind mein koh-e-malal jate hain
watan ko chhod ke bhaarat ke lal jate hain

tadap rahe hain judai mein be-qarar-e-watan
chale hain aalam-e-baala ko jaan-nisar-e-watan
