hukumat hai na shaukat hai na izzat hai na daulat hai
hukūmat hai na shaukat hai na izzat hai na daulat hai
hamāre paas ab le-de ke baaqī bas saqāfat hai
gine jaate haiñ jo dahlīz ke bujhte charāġhoñ meñ
unheñ aivān kī mehrāb meñ jalne kī aadat hai
chalo ḳhairāt na miltī koī khiḌkī hī khul jaatī
faqīroñ ko mohalle se bas itnī sī shikāyat hai
bharam donoñ kā qaa.em hai adā-e-be-niyāzī se
zamāna pūchhtā kab hai hamārī kyā zarūrat hai
kisī manzil pe ham ko mustaqil rahne nahīñ detā
na jaane vaqt ko ham be-gharoñ se kyā shikāyat hai
zabāñ-bandī to pahle thī ba-hukm-e-sāhib-e-ālam
nigāhoñ ko bhī ab ḳhāmosh rahne kī hidāyat hai
hukumat hai na shaukat hai na izzat hai na daulat hai
hamare pas ab le-de ke baqi bas saqafat hai
gine jate hain jo dahliz ke bujhte charaghon mein
unhen aiwan ki mehrab mein jalne ki aadat hai
chalo KHairaat na milti koi khiDki hi khul jati
faqiron ko mohalle se bas itni si shikayat hai
bharam donon ka qaem hai ada-e-be-niyazi se
zamana puchhta kab hai hamari kya zarurat hai
kisi manzil pe hum ko mustaqil rahne nahin deta
na jaane waqt ko hum be-gharon se kya shikayat hai
zaban-bandi to pahle thi ba-hukm-e-sahib-e-alam
nigahon ko bhi ab KHamosh rahne ki hidayat hai
