Madh

kas tarah bayan ho tera paira-e-taqrir

goya sar-e-baatil pe chamakne lagi shamshir

wo zor hai ek lafz idhar nutq se nikla

wan sina-e-aghyar mein paiwast hue tir

garmi bhi hai ThanDak bhi rawani bhi sakun bhi

tasir ka kya kahiye hai tasir hi tasir

eajaz usi ka hai ki arbab-e-sitam ki

ab tak koi anjam ko pahunchi nahin tadbir

atraf-e-watan mein hua haq baat ka shohra

har ek jagah makr-o-riya ki hui tashhir

raushan hue ummid se ruKH ahl-e-wafa ke

peshani-e-ada pe siyahi hui tahrir

(2)

hurriyat-e-adam ki rah-e-saKHt ke rah-gir

KHatir mein nahin late KHayal-e-dam-e-tazir

kuchh nang nahin ranj-e-asiri ki purana

mardan-e-safa-kesh se hai rishta-e-zanjir

kab dabdaba-e-jabr se dabte hain ki jin ke

iman o yaqin dil mein kiye rahte hain tanwir

malum hai un ko ki riha hogi kasi din

zalim ke giran hath se mazlum ki taqdir

aaKHir ko sar-afraaz hua karte hain ahrar

aaKHir ko gira karti hai har jaur ki tamir

har daur mein sar hote hain qasr-e-jam-o-dara

har ahd mein diwar-e-sitam hoti hai tasKHir

har daur mein malun shaqawat hai 'shimar' ki

har ahd mein masud hai qurbani-e-shabbir

(3)

karta hai qalam apne lab o nutq ki tathir

pahunchi hai sar-e-haraf-e-dua ab meri tahrir

har kaam mein barkat ho har ek qaul mein quwwat

har gam pe ho manzil-e-maqsud qadam-gir

har lahza tera tale-e-iqbaal siwa ho

har lahza madad-gar ho tadbir ki taqdir

har baat ho maqbul, har ek bol ho baala

kuchh aur bhi raunaq mein baDhe shola-e-taqrir

har din ho tera lutf-e-zaban aur ziyaada

allah kare zor-e-bayan aur ziyaada
