Kushtagan-e-KHanjar-e-taslim-ra

sakina!

jab kahani KHatm hogi

KHak ki tasir badlegi

zamin shoala-ba-shoala

khinch li jaegi un tarik konon mein

jinhen raushan zamane

satr-e-mustahkam ke andar faslon mein rakh gae the

sakina!

jab badan farsh-e-sitam par

do qadam chalne lagega

asr-e-be-hangam se jiwan

nai duniyaon ke raste nikalega

myan-e-ab-o-gil

kis ko KHabar

kya kya nikal aae

hamare dekhte an-dekhte

kya kya badal jae

hamare sath gird-o-pesh

jitni suraten hain

sab fana ke raqs mein hain

aur ye raqs-e-fana

apna irada to nahin hai

bayabanon ki paimaish

mere chaak-e-gareban se

ziyaada to nahin hai!
