suna ke apne aish-e-tam ki rudad ke TukDe
sunā ke apne aish-e-tām kī rūdād ke TukḌe
uḌā dūñgā kisī din charḳh kī bedād ke TukḌe
asīrī ko atā kar ke asīrī kā sharaf ham ne
uḌā Daale ḳhud apnī fitrat-e-āzād ke TukḌe
kahāñ kā aadmī insān kaisā mā-hasal ye hai
kahīñ ashḳhās ke purze kahīñ afrād ke TukḌe
tabāhī ke mazoñ se bhī ga.e ab vā.e-mahrūmī
sameTūñgā kahāñ tak hasrat-e-barbād ke TukḌe
ye siina talḳh yādoñ kā ḳhazīna hī sahī lekin
bahut chubhte haiñ dil meñ ik nukīlī yaad ke TukḌe
tum achchhe hī sahī merā burā honā bhī hai bar-haq
ki ham sab haiñ kisī majmūa-e-azdād ke TukḌe
hameñ laḳht-e-jigar khāne ko hargiz kam na thā 'aḳhtar'
magar qismat meñ likkhe the jahānābād ke TukḌe
suna ke apne aish-e-tam ki rudad ke TukDe
uDa dunga kisi din charKH ki bedad ke TukDe
asiri ko ata kar ke asiri ka sharaf hum ne
uDa Dale KHud apni fitrat-e-azad ke TukDe
kahan ka aadmi insan kaisa ma-hasal ye hai
kahin ashKHas ke purze kahin afrad ke TukDe
tabahi ke mazon se bhi gae ab wae-mahrumi
sameTunga kahan tak hasrat-e-barbaad ke TukDe
ye sina talKH yaadon ka KHazina hi sahi lekin
bahut chubhte hain dil mein ek nukili yaad ke TukDe
tum achchhe hi sahi mera bura hona bhi hai bar-haq
ki hum sab hain kisi majmua-e-azdad ke TukDe
hamein laKHt-e-jigar khane ko hargiz kam na tha 'aKHtar'
magar qismat mein likkhe the jahanabaad ke TukDe
