haq baat hai is daur mein takhrib-pasandi
baatil ki sataish mein hai insan ki bulandi

taid-e-sitam shewa-e-arbab-e-hunar hai
zindan-o-rasan martaba-e-ahl-e-nazar hai

mujrim hain jo zulmat ko ujala nahin kahte
maqtal ko mohabbat ka shiwala nahin kahte

aazadi-e-afkar ki shamen na jalao
aaraish-e-zindan ke liye khun bahao

izhaar-e-karam khauf ke phulon se kiya jae
raushan rah-e-hasti ko bagulon se kiya jae

aain-e-chaman zulm-o-sitam ka hai nigahban
insaf hai khush-fahmi-e-ehsas pe khandan

har ahl-e-hawas laeq-e-inam-o-karam hai
danishwar-o-fankar sana-khwan-e-sitam hai

hubb-ul-watani jafar-o-sadiq ki hai jagir
tipu ka lahu bechne walon ki hai tauqir

zanjir-e-giran qismat-e-sahib-nazaran hai
zahrab-ba-kaf aaj bhi suqraat-e-jahan hai
