aiman ka nur agar hai to mere watan mein hai
ab tak bhi shan-e-tur isi ujde chaman mein hai

donon hain teri yaad mein aaluda-e-gharaz
jo aib shaikh mein hai wahi barhaman mein hai

lipta hua hai daur-e-khizan bhi bahaar se
donon ka rang lala-e-khunin-kafan mein hai

kyun dil mein dhundte ho shagufta-mizajiyan
pahli si ab bahaar kahan is chaman mein hai

zarre chamak rahe hain teri rahguzar ke
hai tera naqsh-e-pa ki charagh anjuman mein hai

nakaam hasraton ki yahi to hai yaadgar
daghon ka jo hujum dil-e-pur-mehan mein hai

ye bhi khabar hai gauhar-e-maqsad nahin yahan
dil tera phir bhi gharq furaat-o-jaman mein hai

azm-e-safar bahaar mein ai 'arsh' kis liye
duniya ki har bahaar bahaar-e-watan mein hai
