lahu nazr de rahi hai hayat

mere jahan mein saman-zar dhundne wale
yahan bahaar nahin aatishin bagule hain

dhanak ke rang nahin surmai fazaon mein
ufuq se ta-ba-ufuq phansiyon ke jhule hain

phir ek manzil-e-khunbar ki taraf hain rawan
wo rahnuma jo kai bar rah bhule hain

buland dawa-e-jamhuriyat ke parde mein
farogh-e-majlis-o-zindan hain taziyane hain

ba-nam-e-amn hain jang-o-jadal ke mansube
ba-shor-e-adl tafawut ke kar-khane hain

dilon pe khauf ke pahre labon pe qufl sukut
suron pe garm salakhon ke shamiyane hain

magar hate hain kahin jabr aur tashaddud mite
wo falsafe ki jila de gae dimaghon ko

koi sipah-e-sitam pesha chur kar na saki
bashar ki jagi hui ruh ke ayaghon ko

qadam qadam pe lahu nazar de rahi hai hayat
sipahiyon se ulajhte hue charaghon ko

rawan hai qafila-e-irtiqa-e-insani
nizam-e-atish-o-ahan ka dil hilae hue

baghawaton ke duhal baj rahe hain chaar taraf
nikal rahe hain jawan mishalen jalae hue

tamam arz-e-jahan kholta samundar hai
tamam koh-o-bayaban hain tilmilae hue

meri sada ko dabana to khair mumkin hai
magar hayat ki lalkar kaun rokega

fasil-e-atish-o-ahan bahut buland sahi
badalte waqt ki raftar kaun rokega

nae khayal ki parwaz rokne walo
nae awam ki talwar kaun rokega

panah leta hai jin majlison mein tera nizam
wahin se subh ke lashkar nikalne wale hain

ubhar rahe hain fazaon mein ahmarin parcham
kinare mashriq-o-maghrib ke milne wale hain

hazar barq gire lakh aandhiyan uthen
wo phul khil ke rahenge jo khilne wale hain
