huk si uthti hui dil mein numayan dekhna
dard-o-kulfat aur jigar mein zakhm-e-khandan dekhna

be-baha gham mein mujhe hota pareshan dekhna
meri aankhen ashk-zar-e-khun mein giryan dekhna

par na mujh se puchhna mere dil-e-mahzun ka haal
ham-nashino shaq guzregi ye warna qil-o-qal

kyon na mere dil ki be-tabi sharar-angez ho
kyon na dil mein maujzan tufan mahshar-khez ho

kyon na dagh-e-dil mera pal-pal mein shoala-rez ho
kyon na bechaini mere dil ki qayamat-khez ho

jab ki tadpae mujhe furqat jitendr nath ki
jab ki tadpae mujhe hijrat jitendr nath ki

chal gai hai qatil-e-saffak ki go tujh pe ghat
hai magar ai das teri maut yaad-e-kaenat

jis ke har asrar mein pinhan hai ek raaz-e-hayat
daur-e-azadi ki jis mein hain hazaron kaifiyat

tere tarz-e-feal se hai be-naqab-e-hurriyat
har taraf jalwa-fagan hai aaftab-e-hurriyat

teri qurbani mein muzmar hai hayat-e-jawidan
jis ne bhar din azm-o-himmat ki dilon mein bijliyan

badh gaya shauq-e-shahadat badh gain betabiyan
aur aazadi ki lahraenge har-su jhandiyan

takhta-e-hindostan par inqilab aane ko hai
is gulistan-e-burida mein shabab aane ko hai
