ye des muflis-o-nadar kaj-kulahon ka
ye des be-zar-o-dinar baadshahon ka

ki jis ki khak mein qudrat hai kimiyai ki
ye naiban-e-khudawand-e-arz ka maskan

ye nek pak buzurgon ki ruh ka madfan
jahan pe chand sitaron ne jubba-sai ki

na jaane kitne zamanon se is ka har rasta
misal-e-khana-e-be-khanuman tha darbasta

khusha ki aaj ba-fazl-e-khuda wo din aaya
ki dast-e-ghaib ne is ghar ki dar-kushai ki

chune gae hain sabhi khar is ki rahon se
suni gai hai bil-akhir barahna-pai ki
