jang

nikle dahān-e-top se barbādiyoñ ke raag

bāġh-e-jahāñ meñ phail ga.ī dozaḳhoñ kī aag

kyuuñ TimTimā rahī hai ye phir sham-e-zindagī

phir kyuuñ nigār-e-haq pe haiñ āsār-e-beogī

ifrīt-e-sīm-o-zar ke kaleje meñ kyuuñ hai phāñs

kyuuñ ruk rahī hai siine meñ tahzīb-e-nau kī saañs

amn-o-amāñ kī nabz chhuTTī jā rahī hai kyūñ?

bālīn-e-zīst aaj ajal gā rahī hai kyūñ?

ab dilhanoñ se chhīn liyā jā.egā suhāg

ab apne āñsuoñ se bujhā.eñ vo dil kī aag

barbat-navāz bazm-e-ulū idhar to aa

dāvat-dah-e-payām-e-ubūdī idhar to aa

insāniyat ke ḳhuun kī arzāniyāñ to dekh

is kī āsmān vaale kī be-dādiyāñ to dekh

ma.asūma-e-hayāt kī bechārgī to dekh

dast havas se husn kī ġhārat-garī to dekh

ḳhud apnī zindagī pe pashīmāñ hai zindagī

qurbān-gāh-e-maut pe raqsāñ hai zindagī

insān rah sake koī aisā jahāñ bhī hai

is fitna-zā zamīñ kā koī pāsbāñ bhī hai

o āftāb-e-rahmat-e-daurāñ tulū ho

o anjum-e-hamīyat-e-yazdāñ tulū ho

nikle dahan-e-top se barbaadiyon ke rag

bagh-e-jahan mein phail gai dozaKHon ki aag

kyun TimTima rahi hai ye phir sham-e-zindagi

phir kyun nigar-e-haq pe hain aasar-e-beogi

ifrit-e-sim-o-zar ke kaleje mein kyun hai phans

kyun ruk rahi hai sine mein tahzib-e-nau ki sans

amn-o-aman ki nabz chhuTTi ja rahi hai kyun?

baalin-e-zist aaj ajal ga rahi hai kyun?

ab dilhanon se chhin liya jaega suhag

ab apne aansuon se bujhaen wo dil ki aag

barbat-nawaz bazm-e-ulu idhar to aa

dawat-dah-e-payam-e-ubudi idhar to aa

insaniyat ke KHun ki arzaniyan to dekh

is ki aasman wale ki be-dadiyan to dekh

masuma-e-hayat ki bechaargi to dekh

dast hawas se husn ki ghaarat-gari to dekh

KHud apni zindagi pe pashiman hai zindagi

qurban-gah-e-maut pe raqsan hai zindagi

insan rah sake koi aisa jahan bhi hai

is fitna-za zamin ka koi pasban bhi hai

o aaftab-e-rahmat-e-dauran tulu ho

o anjum-e-hamiyat-e-yazdan tulu ho
