ye kin khayalon mein kho rahe ho nai hai buniyaad-e-ashiyana
chaman ki tamir is tarah ho ki rashk tum par kare zamana

ye jaan lo kis maqam par ho chuna hai kis rahguzar ko tum ne
utho ki tahzib-e-nau ne badh kar badal diya dahr ka fasana

tumhaare azm-o-amal mein pinhan farogh-e-alam ki quwwaten hain
badal do tadbir se muqaddar hanuz haalat ka nishana

jo dil mein manzil ki aarzu hai to sikh lo tum ai nau-jawano
har ek aafat ka rukh badalna har ek musibat par muskurana

tumhein khabar hai ki ahd-e-mazi mein daur aise bhi aa chuke hain
pade rahe tum hi ghaflaton mein pukarta rah gaya zamana

naya zamana nai hai mahfil nae hain barbat nai tarangen
purane ragon ko band kar do faza ko de do naya tarana

na ahl-e-duniya ki samt dekho juda juda hai mafad sab ka
agarche koshish karoge dil se banega firdaus aashiyana

maza to jab hai ai nau-jawano kahe tumhein aafrin muarrikh
abhi to hai waqt sabt kar do tum apna tarikh mein fasana
