bare aai najat ki bari
khul gaya uqda-e-giraftari

hum ko mansab mila rihai ka
qaid ko jaedad-e-bekari

panw ko chhod bhage mar-e-do-sar
sar ko pushtara-e-giranbari

kuch thahra maqam-e-ghurbat se
ab watan chalne ki hai tayyari

rukhsat ai dostan-e-zindani
alwida ai gham-e-giraftari

arrahil ai mashaqqat-e-har-zor
al-firaq ai hujum-e-na-chaari

dal fe ain ai kitabat-e-qaid
gaf mim ai hisab-e-sarkari

dal chawal se kah do rukhsat hon
pani mein dube ye namak khaari

machhliyon se kaho ki hat ke saden
ghas khode yahan ki tarkari

chini barhama malai madrasi
ahl-e-asham jangali tatari

apne didar se maf karen
apni baaton se den subuk-sari

kale pani se hote hain rukhsat
ashk-e-shadi hain aankhon se jari

baithte hain jahaz duri par
uthte hain langar-e-giranbari

karam ai khizr al-madad ai nuh
rahm ai fazl-e-hazrat-e-bari

assalam ai kharosh-e-bahr-e-muhit
assafar ai safina-e-jari

zad-e-rah-e-safar tawakkul hai
rahnumai ko us ki ghaffari

hai irada ki fikr-e-sher karen
taki ho dur ranj-e-bekari

bas-ki barson raha hun zindan mein
bhuli qasr-e-sukhan ki memari
