hum kya mangte hain

na duniya ka hum mal-o-zar mangte hain
kisi se na alqab-e-sir mangte hain
na pokhraj lal-o-gohar mangte hain
sharafat ka jina magar mangte hain


hamein jazba-e-hubb-e-qaumi ata kar
yahi haq se sham-o-sahar mangte hain
mila de jo sinon mein dil zalimon ke
wo aahon mein apni asar mangte hain


bigadne ki to baat hi kuchh nahin hai
huzur hum to apna hi ghar mangte hain
bata qaum-e-ghafil ye kya majra hai
tere bachche kyon dar-ba-dar mangte hain


'ali' jaan lo wo hain dushman watan ke
jo un se karam ki nazar mangte hain
