yaqin ki KHak uDate guman banate hain
yaqīñ kī ḳhaak uḌāte gumāñ banāte haiñ
magar ye turfa imārat kahāñ banāte haiñ
lagā rahe haiñ na.e zā.eqoñ ke zaḳhm abhī
asās-e-fikr na tarz-e-bayāñ banāte haiñ
qarīb-o-dūr se bejoḌ aks ashiyā ke
talāsh karte haiñ aur dāstāñ banāte haiñ
ki mil sake na hamārā surāġh ham ko bhī
binā-e-abr-o-havā par makāñ banāte haiñ
purāne zulm meñ lazzat nahīñ hamāre liye
ham apne sar pe nayā āsmāñ banāte haiñ
nahīñ nasīb meñ marnā savād-e-sāhil par
jo Dūbne ke liye kashtiyāñ banāte haiñ
falak pe DhūñDte haiñ gard-e-rañg-e-rafta-e-dil
zamīñ pe shām-e-talab kā nishāñ banāte haiñ
vo jis kī lai pe laraztā hai barg barg badan
us ek rañg se naqsh-e-ḳhizāñ banāte haiñ
'zafar' ye vaqt hī batlā.egā ki āḳhir ham
bigāḌte haiñ zabāñ yā zabāñ banāte haiñ
yaqin ki KHak uDate guman banate hain
magar ye turfa imarat kahan banate hain
laga rahe hain nae zaeqon ke zaKHm abhi
asas-e-fikr na tarz-e-bayan banate hain
qarib-o-dur se bejoD aks ashiya ke
talash karte hain aur dastan banate hain
ki mil sake na hamara suragh hum ko bhi
bina-e-abr-o-hawa par makan banate hain
purane zulm mein lazzat nahin hamare liye
hum apne sar pe naya aasman banate hain
nahin nasib mein marna sawad-e-sahil par
jo Dubne ke liye kashtiyan banate hain
falak pe DhunDte hain gard-e-rang-e-rafta-e-dil
zamin pe sham-e-talab ka nishan banate hain
wo jis ki lai pe larazta hai barg barg badan
us ek rang se naqsh-e-KHizan banate hain
'zafar' ye waqt hi batlaega ki aaKHir hum
bigaDte hain zaban ya zaban banate hain
