meri ragon mein chahakte hue lahu ko suno
hazaron lakhon sitaron ne saz chheda hai

har ek bund mein aafaq gungunate hain
ye sharq o gharb shumal o junub past o buland

lahu mein gharq hain aur shash-jahat ka aahang
zamin ki peng tulu-e-nujum-o-shams-o-qamar

ghurub-e-sham zawal-e-shab o numud-e-sahar
tamam aalam-e-ranai bazm-e-barnai

kanwal ki tarah khile hain lahu ki jhilon mein
hai kaenat mere dil ki dhadkanon mein asir

main ek zarra bisat-e-nizam-e-shamsi par
main ek nuqta sar-e-kaenat-e-wahm-o-shuur

ek qatra anal-bahr hai sada meri
main kaenat mein tanha hun aaftab ki tarah

mere lahu mein rawan wed bhi hain quran bhi
shajar hajar bhi hain sahra bhi hain gulistan bhi

ki main hun waris-e-tarikh-e-asr-e-insani
qadam qadam pe jahannam qadam qadam pe bahisht
