tifli mein aarzu thi kisi dil mein hum bhi hon
ek roz soz-o-saz ki mahfil mein hum bhi hon

dil ho asir gesu-e-ambar-sarisht mein
uljhe inhin hasin salasil mein hum bhi hon

chheda hai saz hazrat-e-'sadi' ne jis jagah
us bostan ke shokh anadil mein hum bhi hon

gaen tarane dosh-e-surayya pe rakh ke sar
taron se chhed ho mah-e-kaamil mein hum bhi hon

aazad ho ke kashmakash-e-ilm se kabhi
aashuftagan-e-ishq ki manzil mein hum bhi hon

diwana-war hum bhi phiren koh-o-dasht mein
dil-dadgan-e-shola-e-mahmil mein hum bhi hon

dil ko ho shahzadi-e-maqsad ki dhun lagi
hairan suragh-e-jada-e-manzil mein hum bhi hon

sahra ho, khar-zar ho, wadi ho, aag ho
ek din inhin muhib manazil mein hum bhi hun

dariya-e-hashr-khez ki maujon ko chir kar
kashti samet daman-e-sahil mein hum bhi hon

ek lashkar-e-azim ho masruf kar-zar
lashkar ke pesh pesh muqabil mein hum bhi hon

chamke hamare hath mein bhi tegh-e-abdar
hangam-e-jang nargha-e-baatil mein hum bhi hon

qadmon pe jin ke taj hain iqlim-e-dahr ke
un chand kushtagan-e-gham-e-dil mein hum bhi hon
