kas tarah bayan ho tera paira-e-taqrir

goya sar-e-baatil pe chamakne lagi shamshir
wo zor hai ek lafz idhar nutq se nikla

wan sina-e-aghyar mein paiwast hue tir
garmi bhi hai thandak bhi rawani bhi sakun bhi

tasir ka kya kahiye hai tasir hi tasir
eajaz usi ka hai ki arbab-e-sitam ki

ab tak koi anjam ko pahunchi nahin tadbir
atraf-e-watan mein hua haq baat ka shohra

har ek jagah makr-o-riya ki hui tashhir
raushan hue ummid se rukh ahl-e-wafa ke

peshani-e-ada pe siyahi hui tahrir

hurriyat-e-adam ki rah-e-sakht ke rah-gir
khatir mein nahin late khayal-e-dam-e-tazir

kuchh nang nahin ranj-e-asiri ki purana
mardan-e-safa-kesh se hai rishta-e-zanjir

kab dabdaba-e-jabr se dabte hain ki jin ke
iman o yaqin dil mein kiye rahte hain tanwir

malum hai un ko ki riha hogi kasi din
zalim ke giran hath se mazlum ki taqdir

aakhir ko sar-afraaz hua karte hain ahrar
aakhir ko gira karti hai har jaur ki tamir

har daur mein sar hote hain qasr-e-jam-o-dara
har ahd mein diwar-e-sitam hoti hai taskhir

har daur mein malun shaqawat hai 'shimar' ki
har ahd mein masud hai qurbani-e-shabbir

karta hai qalam apne lab o nutq ki tathir

pahunchi hai sar-e-haraf-e-dua ab meri tahrir
har kaam mein barkat ho har ek qaul mein quwwat

har gam pe ho manzil-e-maqsud qadam-gir
har lahza tera tale-e-iqbaal siwa ho

har lahza madad-gar ho tadbir ki taqdir
har baat ho maqbul, har ek bol ho baala

kuchh aur bhi raunaq mein badhe shola-e-taqrir
har din ho tera lutf-e-zaban aur ziyaada

allah kare zor-e-bayan aur ziyaada
