urus-e-amn ke honton pe sahmi sahmi si
machal rahi hai tabassum ki kahkashan ban kar

ye zindagi jo kahin phul hai jawani hai
kisi hasin ka takallum kisi sanam ka jamal

kisi ki zulf ka baadal kisi nazar ka khumar
kisi damakti jabin par haya ki surkh lakir

jhuki jhuki si nigahon ka sehr-e-hosh-ruba
ye zindagi ki jo tahzib-e-adamiyyat ko

sajae palkon pe kajal ki tarah nazan hai
ye zindagi jo tamaddun ko apne sine se

lagae raqs-kunan hai sahar ki rahon mein
ye zindagi ki jo insaniyat ke paikar mein

khala ki god mein fitrat se ham-kalam hui
ye kaenat ke barbat pe dil-nashin ek rag

zamin ki mang ka sindur aasman ka suhag
jilau mein qafila-e-rang-o-nur lai hai

urus-e-amn ki aaghosh mein dar aai hai
