jhuTpuTe ka narm-rau dariya shafaq ka iztirab

khetiyan maidan KHamoshi ghurub-e-aftab

dasht ke kaam-o-dahan ko din ki talKHi se faragh

dur dariya ke kinare dhundle dhundle se charagh

zer-e-lab arz o sama mein bahami guft-o-shunud

mishal-e-gardun ke bujh jaane se ek halka sa dud

wusaten maidan ki suraj ke chhup jaane se tang

sabza-e-afsurda par KHwab-afrin halka sa rang

KHamushi aur KHamushi mein sansanahaT ki sada

sham ki KHunki se goya din ki garmi ka gila

apne daman ko barabar qata sa karta hua

tirgi mein khetiyon ke darmiyan ka fasla

KHar-o-KHas par ek dard-angez afsane ki shan

baam-e-gardun par kisi ke ruTh kar jaane ki shan

dub ki KHushbu mein shabnam ki nami se ek surur

charKH par baadal zamin par titliyan sar par tuyur

para para abr surKHi surKHiyon mein kuchh dhuan

bhuli-bhaTki si zamin khoya hua sa aasman

pattiyan maKHmur kaliyan aankh jhapkati hui

narm-jaan paudon ko goya nind si aati hui

ye saman aur ek qawi insan yani kast-kar

irtiqa ka peshwa tahzib ka parwardigar

jis ke mathe ke pasine se pae-izz-o-waqar

karti hai daryuza-e-tabish kulah-e-tajdar

sar-nigun rahti hain jis se quwwaten taKHrib ki

jis ke bute par lachakti hai kamar tahzib ki

jis ki mehnat se phabakta hai tan-asani ka bagh

jis ki zulmat ki hatheli par tamaddun ka charagh

jis ke bazu ki salabat par nazakat ka madar

jis ke kas-bal par akaDta hai ghurur-e-shahryar

dhup ke jhulse hue ruKH par mashaqqat ke nishan

khet se phere hue munh ghar ki jaanib hai rawan

Tokra sar par baghal mein phaoDa tewri pe bal

samne bailon ki joDi dosh par mazbut hal

kaun hal zulmat-shikan qindil-e-bazm-e-ab-o-gil

qasr-e-gulshan ka daricha sina-e-giti ka dil

KHushnuma shahron ka bani raaz-e-fitrat ka suragh

KHandan-e-tegh-e-jauhar-dar ka chashm-o-charag

dhaar par jis ki chaman-parwar shagufon ka nizam

sham-e-zer-e-arz ko subh-e-daraKHshan ka payam

Dubta hai KHak mein jo ruh dauData hua

muzmahil zarron ki mausiqi ko chaunkata hua

jis ke chhu jate hi misl-e-naznin-e-mah-jabin

karwaTon par karwaTen leti hai laila-e-zamin

parda-ha-e-KHwab ho jate hain jis se chaak chaak

muskura kar apni chadar ko haTa deti hai KHak

jis ki tabish mein daraKHshani hilal-e-id ki

KHak ke mayus matla par kiran ummid ki

tifl-e-baran tajdar-e-KHak amir-e-bostan

mahir-e-ain-e-qudarat nazim-e-bazm-e-jahan

nazir-e-gul pasban-e-rang-o-bu gulshan-panah

naz-parwar lahlahati khetiyon ka baadshah

waris-e-asrar-e-fitrat fateh-e-ummid-o-bim

mahram-e-asar-e-baran waqif-e-taba-e-nasim

subh ka farzand KHurshid-e-zar-afshan ka alam

mehnat-e-paiham ka paiman saKHt-koshi ki qasam

jalwa-e-qudrat ka shahid husn-e-fitrat ka gawah

mah ka dil mehr-e-alam-tab ka nur-e-nigah

qalb par jis ke numayan nur o zulmat ka nizam

munkashif jis ki farasat par mizaj-e-subh-o-sham

KHun hai jis ki jawani ka bahaar-e-rozgar

jis ke ashkon par faraghat ke tabassum ka madar

jis ki mehnat ka araq tayyar karta hai sharab

uD ke jis ka rang bin jata hai jaan-parwar gulab

qalb-e-ahan jis ke naqsh-e-pa se hota hai raqiq

shoala-KHu jhonkon ka hamdam tez kirnon ka rafiq

KHun jis ka bijliyon ki anjuman mein baryab

jis ke sar par jagmagati hai kulah-e-aftab

lahar khata hai rag-e-KHashak mein jis ka lahu

jis ke dil ki aanch ban jati hai sail-e-rang-o-bu

dauDti hai raat ko jis ki nazar aflak par

din ko jis ki ungliyan rahti hain nabz-e-KHak par

jis ki jaankahi se Tapkati hai amrit nabz-e-tak

jis ke dam se lala-o-gul ban ke itraati hai KHak

saz-e-daulat ko ata karti hai naghme jis ki aah

mangta hai bhik tabani ki jis se ru-e-shah

KHun jis ka dauDta hai nabz-e-istiqlal mein

loch bhar deta hai jo shahzadiyon ki chaal mein

jis ka mas KHashak mein banta hai ek chadar mahin

jis ka loha man kar sona ugalti hai zamin

hal pe dahqan ke chamakti hain shafaq ki surKHiyan

aur dahqan sar jhukae ghar ki jaanib hai rawan

us siyasi rath ke pahiyon par jamae hai nazar

jis mein aa jati hai tezi khetiyon ko raund kar

apni daulat ko jigar par tir-e-gham khate hue

dekhta hai mulk-e-dushman ki taraf jate hue

qata hoti hi nahin tariki-e-hirman se rah

faqa-kash bachchon ke dhundle aansuon par hai nigah

sochta jata hai kin aankhon se dekha jaega

be-rida biwi ka sar bachchon ka munh utra hua

sim-o-zar nan-o-namak aab-o-ghiza kuchh bhi nahin

ghar mein ek KHamosh matam ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin

ek dil aur ye hujum-e-sogwari hae hae

ye sitam ai sang-dil sarmaya-dari hae hae

teri aankhon mein hain ghaltan wo shaqawat ke sharar

jin ke aage KHanjar-e-changez ki muDti hai dhaar

bekason ke KHun mein Dube hue hain tere hat

kya chaba Dalegi o kambaKHt sari kaenat

zulm aur itna koi had bhi hai is tufan ki

boTiyan hain tere jabDon mein gharib insan ki

dekh kar tere sitam ai hami-e-amn-o-aman

gurg rah jate hain danton mein daba kar ungliyan

iddia-e-pairwi-e-din-o-iman aur tu

dekh apni kuhniyan jin se Tapakta hai lahu

han sambhal ja ab ki zahr-e-ahl-e-dil ke aab hain

kitne tufan teri kashti ke liye be-tab hain
