ehsas-e-kaamran
ufuq-e-rūs se phūTī hai na.ī sub.h kī zau
shab kā tārīk jigar chaak huā jaatā hai
tīrgī jitnā sambhalne ke liye ruktī hai
surḳh sail aur bhī bebāk huā jaatā hai
sāmrāj apne vasīloñ pe bharosa na kare
kohna zanjīroñ kī jhankāreñ nahīñ rah saktīñ
jazba-e-nusrat-e-jamhūr kī baḌhtī rau meñ
mulk aur qaum kī dīvāreñ nahīñ rah saktīñ
sañg-o-āhan kī chaTTāneñ haiñ avāmī jazbe
maut ke reñgte sāyoñ se kaho haT jaa.eñ
karvaTeñ le ke machalne ko hai sail-e-anvār
tīra-o-tār ghaTāoñ se kaho chhaT jaa.eñ
sāl-hā-sāl ke bechain sharāroñ kā ḳharosh
ik na.ī ziist kā dar baaz kiyā chāhtā hai
azm-e-āzādī-e-insāñ ba-hazārāñ jabrūt
ik na.e daur kā āġhāz kiyā chāhtā hai
bartar aqvām ke maġhrūr ḳhudāoñ se kaho
āḳhirī baar zarā apnā tarāna dohrā.eñ
aur phir apnī siyāsat pe pashemāñ ho kar
apne nākām irādoñ kā kafan le aa.eñ
surḳh tūfān kī maujoñ ke jakaḌne ke liye
koī zanjīr-e-girāñ kaam nahīñ aa saktī
raqs kartī huī kirnoñ ke talātum kī qasam
arsa-e-dahr pe ab shaam nahīñ chhā saktī
ufuq-e-rus se phuTi hai nai subh ki zau
shab ka tarik jigar chaak hua jata hai
tirgi jitna sambhalne ke liye rukti hai
surKH sail aur bhi bebak hua jata hai
samraj apne wasilon pe bharosa na kare
kohna zanjiron ki jhankaren nahin rah saktin
jazba-e-nusrat-e-jamhur ki baDhti rau mein
mulk aur qaum ki diwaren nahin rah saktin
sang-o-ahan ki chaTTanen hain awami jazbe
maut ke rengte sayon se kaho haT jaen
karwaTen le ke machalne ko hai sail-e-anwar
tira-o-tar ghaTaon se kaho chhaT jaen
sal-ha-sal ke bechain shararon ka KHarosh
ek nai zist ka dar baz kiya chahta hai
azm-e-azadi-e-insan ba-hazaran jabrut
ek nae daur ka aaghaz kiya chahta hai
bartar aqwam ke maghrur KHudaon se kaho
aaKHiri bar zara apna tarana dohraen
aur phir apni siyasat pe pasheman ho kar
apne nakaam iradon ka kafan le aaen
surKH tufan ki maujon ke jakaDne ke liye
koi zanjir-e-giran kaam nahin aa sakti
raqs karti hui kirnon ke talatum ki qasam
arsa-e-dahr pe ab sham nahin chha sakti
