sone walon ko payam-e-subh-e-nau deti hui
khwab ki duniya uthi angdaiyan leti hui

matla-e-mashriq pe chamka aaftab-e-shairi
har kiran jis ki bani tar-e-rabab-e-shairi

dil pe tha jo dagh-e-ghaflat us ko aahen dho gain
khun-e-mashriq mein hazaron bijliyan hal ho gain

zabt ke zakhm-e-nihan fariyaad se bharne lage
yani bande bhi khuda se guftugu karne lage

aariz-e-pur-nur jhalka gesu-e-shab-rang se
ju-e-bar-e-saz-e-dil nikli sukut-e-sang se

ashk-e-khunin mein nazar aai tabassum ki jhalak
naghma-e-bulbul bani khamosh phulon ki mahak

karwan badhne laga tezi se manzil ki taraf
kaenat-e-dard khud khinchne lagi dil ki taraf

dahr ke dhaare pe tufani hawa sahne lagi
naw mashriq ki kinare ki taraf bahne lagi

jag utha mashriq dil-e-iqbaal ki dhadkan gawah
wah ka mahshar liye aati hai jis ki lab pe aah

qalb-e-shair se sadaqat le ke nikli shairi
sach kaha hai shairi juzwist az paighambari
