hota nahin dam-bhar bhi sukun us ko gawara
jis khatir-e-betab ki fitrat hi hai para

mazlum ki fariyaad se jal jaega aalam
sad-shoala-ba-daman hai un aahon ka sharara

gham-didon ko de aish-o-tarab aur ata kar
taj-e-sar-e-sultani-e-taimur gada-ra

garma de ragen us ki imarat ke lahu se
jis hasti-e-be-maya ka ghurbat hai sahaara

takhrib ke bandon ko bas ab ho nahin sakti
insan ki insan se tafriq gawara

paband sahi dahr mein aain-e-jahan ke
piran-e-kalisa ka hai kya us mein ijara

tahzib-o-tamaddun hain imarat ke sahaare
mazdur ki ghurbat ka nahin koi sahaara
