uth ki mita jata hai qaum ka sara waqar
daman-e-izz-o-waqar

dast-e-ghulami se tar
ho bhi zara hoshiyar

mard-e-zalalat-shiar
uth ki mita jata hai qaum ka sara waqar

nur-e-guhar-bar ban parda-e-zulmat nahin
lamha-e-rahat nahin

arsa-e-ishrat nahin
pahli si rifat nahin

agli si shaukat nahin
nur-e-guhar-bar ban parda-e-zulmat nahin

tu wahi insan hai ta-ba-falak jo gaya
rifat-e-parwaz la

auj-e-surayya pe ja
sarmadi naghma suna

sote huon ko jaga
tu wahi insan hai ta-ba-falak jo gaya

soz nahin saz ban ghaib ki aawaz ban
mulk ka shahbaz ban

qaum ka dam-saz ban
surat-e-eajaz ban

taqat-e-parwaz ban
soz nahin saz ban ghaib ki aawaz ban

qaum tabah aur tu haif ki khamosh hai
dil mein na kuchh josh hai

mahw-e-gham-e-dosh hai
aish mein madhosh hai

ahd-faramosh hai
qaum tabah aur tu haif ki khamosh hai

nind ke mato utho phenk do jam-o-ayagh
bujh gaya qaumi charagh

lut gaya millat ka bagh
dho bhi do zulmat ka dagh

dil ka lagao suragh
nind ke mato utho phenk do jam-o-ayagh
