urdu zaban ka sher ho hindi ka ya bachan
jauhar-shanas ke liye yaksan hai har sukhan

sufi manaya aaj yun urdu ka yaum hai
zinda zaban hai jis ki wahi zinda qaum hai

mitne na pae urdu zaban desh se kabhi
har-dil-aziz ye rahe aae na kuchh kami

urdu o hindi donon hi man-jai do bahan
donon hasin hain donon ki ye ek si phaban

hain mader-e-watan ke liye donon sim-tan
man ki nazar mein donon ki hai didani phaban

donon ke rang-rup se gulzar hai chaman
ek ek se ziyaada hai ek ek ki phaban

bagh-e-watan mein yasmin hai ek yasman
donon ke bu se mitte hain ranj-o-gham-o-mehan

donon se baghban ki mohabbat hai ek si
gulchin se is liye use hai sakht dushmani

jism-e-khayal ke liye donon hain pairahan
qaid-e-libas hai abas sundar ho gar badan

mit jae urdu ho nahin sakta hai ye kabhi
ye koshish-e-napak hai be-sud ai 'sufi'
