jhuthe shaer ye ghaur se sun len
shairi sab ke bas ki baat nahin

ye wo ilham hai ke jis ke liye
rab hi chunta hai apne bandon mein

aise bandon ko jin ke sine mein
dard hota hai sare aalam ka

jo mohabbat ki baat karte hain
jo ukhuwwat ki baat karte hain

jo sadaqat ki baat karte hain
zulm ke samne khade ho kar

jo baghawat ki baat karte hain
muflison aur gham ke maron ki

jo himayat ki baat karte hain
na-ummidi ke ghup andheron mein

jo diye aas ke jalate hain
bughz rakhte nahin jo sine mein

dushmanon ko gale lagate hain
sare aalam mein amn ki khatir

raat-din khun-e-dil jalate hain
jin ko shohrat ki aas hoti nahin

jin ko daulat ki aas hoti nahin
shan-o-shaukat ki aas hoti nahin

jo qalandar ki tarah jite hain
jo faqiron ki tarah rah kar bhi

baadshahon ki tarah jite hain
jhuthe shaer ye ghaur se sun len

shair-e-be-nawa ke sine par
sher utarte hain aayaton ki tarah
