Nam O Nasab

ai mera nam o nasab puchhne wale sun le

mere ajdad ki qabron ke purane katbe

jin ki tahrir mah o sal ke fitnon ki naqib

jin ki bosida silen sim-zada shor-zada

aur aaseb zamane ki rahe jin ka nasib

pusht-dar-pusht bila fasl wo ajdad mere

apne aaqaon ki mansha thi mashiyyat un ki

gar wo zinda the to zindon mein wo shamil kab the

aur marne pe faqat bojh thi mayyat un ki

jin ko maktab se lagao tha na maqtal ki KHabar

jo na zalim the na zalim ke muqabil aae

jin ki masnad pe nazar thi na hi zindan ka safar

ai mera nam o nasab puchhne wale sun le

aise be-dam ghulamon ki nishani main hun
