ek nae daur ki tartib ke saman honge
dast-e-jamhur mein shahon ke gireban honge

barq khud apni tajalli ki muhafiz hogi!
phul khud apni latafat ke gireban honge

naghma-o-sher ka sailab umad aaega
waqt ke sehr se ghunche bhi ghazal-khwan honge

naw manjdhaar se be-khauf-o-khatar khelegi
nakhuda barbat-e-tufan pe rajaz-khwan honge

rah-rau apni masafat ka sila mangenge
rahnuma apni siyasat pe pasheman honge

rast-guftar ki hain naqid-e-aulad-e-farang
waqt kahta hai ki phir dakhil-e-zindan honge

tu kahan jaegi kuchh apna thikana kar le
hum to kal khwab-e-adam mein shab-e-hijran honge
