khol aankh zamin dekh falak dekh faza dekh!
mashriq se ubharte hue suraj ko zara dekh!

is jalwa-e-be-parda ko parda mein chhupa dekh!
ayyam-e-judai ke sitam dekh jafa dekh!

betab na ho marka-e-bim-o-raja dekh!
hain tere tasarruf mein ye baadal ye ghataen

ye gumbad-e-aflak ye khamosh fazaen
ye koh ye sahra ye samundar ye hawaen

thin pesh-e-nazar kal to farishton ki adaen
aaina-e-ayyam mein aaj apni ada dekh!

samjhega zamana teri aankhon ke ishaare!
dekhenge tujhe dur se gardun ke sitare!

napaid tere bahr-e-takhayyul ke kinare
pahunchenge falak tak teri aahon ke sharare

tamir-e-khudi kar asar-e-ah-e-rasa dekh
khurshid-e-jahan-tab ki zau tere sharar mein

aabaad hai ek taza jahan tere hunar mein
jachte nahin bakhshe hue firdaus nazar mein

jannat teri pinhan hai tere khun-e-jigar mein
ai paikar-e-gul koshish-e-paiham ki jaza dekh!

nalanda tere ud ka har tar azal se
tu jins-e-mohabbat ka kharidar azal se

tu pir-e-sanam-khana-e-asrar azal se
mehnat-kash o khun-rez o kam-azar azal se

hai rakib-e-taqdir-e-jahan teri raza dekh!
the spirit of the earth welcomes adam
