tujh ko kitnon ka lahu chahiye ai arz-e-watan
jo tere aariz-e-be-rang ko gulnar karen
kitni aahon se kaleja tera thanda hoga
kitne aansu tere sahraon ko gulzar karen
tere aiwanon mein purze hue paiman kitne
kitne wade jo na aasuda-e-iqrar hue
kitni aankhon ko nazar kha gai bad-khwahon ki
khwab kitne teri shah-rahon mein sangsar hue
bala-kashan-e-mohabbat pe jo hua so hua
jo mujh pe guzri mat us se kaho, hua so hua
mabaada ho koi zalim tera gareban-gir
lahu ke dagh tu daman se dho, hua so hua
hum to majbur-e-wafa hain magar ai jaan-e-jahan
apne ushshaq se aise bhi koi karta hai
teri mahfil ko khuda rakkhe abad tak qaem
hum to mehman hain ghadi bhar ke hamara kya hai
