khak ke zarron ko tanwir-e-nazar deta hai wo
phul ki patti ko lohe ka jigar deta hai wo

jab use mahmez karti hai takhayyul ki ada
zulmat-e-shab ko tajalli-e-sahar deta hai wo

sazish-e-barbaadi-e-alam jahan jab bhi hui
sari duniya jag jati hai khabar deta hai wo

jab rag-e-jamhuriyat ko katne badhta hai zulm
be-gunahi sabr karti hai asar deta hai wo

is qadar fitrat ke husn-e-dilruba par hai fida
talib-e-sar ho agar fitrat to sar deta hai wo

khud tahi-daman sahi lekin zar-e-ikhlas se
daman-e-tahzib-e-insani ko bhar deta hai wo

azmat-e-adam se kar ke munzabit apna sukhan
gham-zadon ko jurat-e-zauq-e-safar deta hai wo

maut ko taskhir kar ke quwwat-e-idrak se
murdani chehron ko jine ka hunar deta hai wo

qalb-e-shair ko mili hain ishq ki sab barkaten
ishq hi se qalb-e-ahan mom kar deta hai wo
