ai anfus o āfāq meñ paidā tirī āyāt

haq ye hai ki hai zinda o pā.inda tirī zaat

maiñ kaise samajhtā ki tū hai yā ki nahīñ hai

har dam mutaġhayyar the ḳhirad ke nazriyāt

mahram nahīñ fitrat ke surūd-e-azlī se

bīnā-e-kavākib ho ki dānā-e-nabātāt

aaj aañkh ne dekhā to vo 'ālam huā sābit

maiñ jis ko samajhtā thā kalīsā ke ḳhurāfāt

ham band-e-shab-o-roz meñ jakḌe hue bande

tū ḳhāliq-e-āsār-o-nigāranda-e-ānāt

ik baat agar mujh ko ijāzat ho to pūchhūñ

hal kar na sake jis ko hakīmoñ ke maqālāt

jab tak maiñ jiyā ḳhema-e-aflāk ke nīche

kāñTe kī tarah dil meñ khaTaktī rahī ye baat

guftār ke uslūb pe qaabū nahīñ rahtā

jab ruuh ke andar mutalātum hoñ ḳhayālāt

vo kaun sā aadam hai ki tū jis kā hai mā'būd

vo ādam-e-ḳhākī ki jo hai zer-e-samāvāt

mashriq ke ḳhudāvand safedān-e-rañgī

maġhrib ke ḳhudāvand daraḳhshanda filizzāt

europe meñ bahut raushni-e-ilm-o-hunar hai

haq ye hai ki be-chashma-e-haivāñ hai ye zulmāt

rāñā.i-e-tāmīr meñ raunaq meñ safā meñ

girjoñ se kahīñ baḌh ke haiñ bankoñ kī imārāt

zāhir meñ tijārat hai haqīqat meñ juā hai

suud ek kā lākhoñ ke liye marg-e-mufājāt

ye 'ilm ye hikmat ye tadabbur ye hukūmat

piite haiñ lahū dete haiñ tālīm-e-musāvāt

bekārī o 'uryānī o mai-ḳhvārī o iflās

kyā kam haiñ farañgī madniyat kī futūhāt

vo qaum ki faizān-e-samāvī se ho mahrūm

had us ke kamālāt kī hai barq o buḳhārāt

hai dil ke liye maut mashīnoñ kī hukūmat

ehsās-e-muravvat ko kuchal dete haiñ ālāt

āsār to kuchh kuchh nazar aate haiñ ki āḳhir

tadbīr ko taqdīr ke shātir ne kiyā maat

mai-ḳhāna kī buniyād meñ aayā hai tazalzul

baiThe haiñ isī fikr meñ pīrān-e-ḳharābāt

chehroñ pe jo surḳhī nazar aatī hai sar-e-shām

yā ġhāza hai yā sāġhar o miinā kī karāmāt

tū qādir o 'ādil hai magar tere jahāñ meñ

haiñ talḳh bahut banda-e-mazdūr ke auqāt

kab Dūbegā sarmāya-parastī kā safīna

duniyā hai tirī muntazir-e-roz-e-mukāfāt

ai anfus o aafaq mein paida teri aayat

haq ye hai ki hai zinda o painda teri zat

main kaise samajhta ki tu hai ya ki nahin hai

har dam mutaghayyar the KHirad ke nazriyat

mahram nahin fitrat ke surud-e-azli se

bina-e-kawakib ho ki dana-e-nabaatat

aaj aankh ne dekha to wo 'alam hua sabit

main jis ko samajhta tha kalisa ke KHurafat

hum band-e-shab-o-roz mein jakDe hue bande

tu KHaliq-e-asar-o-nigaranda-e-anat

ek baat agar mujh ko ijazat ho to puchhun

hal kar na sake jis ko hakimon ke maqalat

jab tak main jiya KHema-e-aflak ke niche

kanTe ki tarah dil mein khaTakti rahi ye baat

guftar ke uslub pe qabu nahin rahta

jab ruh ke andar mutalatum hon KHayalat

wo kaun sa aadam hai ki tu jis ka hai ma'bud

wo aadam-e-KHaki ki jo hai zer-e-samawat

mashriq ke KHudawand safedan-e-rangi

maghrib ke KHudawand daraKHshanda filizzat

europe mein bahut raushni-e-ilm-o-hunar hai

haq ye hai ki be-chashma-e-haiwan hai ye zulmat

ranai-e-tamir mein raunaq mein safa mein

girjon se kahin baDh ke hain bankon ki imaraat

zahir mein tijarat hai haqiqat mein jua hai

sud ek ka lakhon ke liye marg-e-mufajat

ye 'ilm ye hikmat ye tadabbur ye hukumat

pite hain lahu dete hain talim-e-musawat

bekari o 'uryani o mai-KHwari o iflas

kya kam hain farangi madniyat ki futuhat

wo qaum ki faizan-e-samawi se ho mahrum

had us ke kamalat ki hai barq o buKHaraat

hai dil ke liye maut mashinon ki hukumat

ehsas-e-murawwat ko kuchal dete hain aalat

aasar to kuchh kuchh nazar aate hain ki aaKHir

tadbir ko taqdir ke shatir ne kiya mat

mai-KHana ki buniyaad mein aaya hai tazalzul

baiThe hain isi fikr mein piran-e-KHarabaat

chehron pe jo surKHi nazar aati hai sar-e-sham

ya ghaza hai ya saghar o mina ki karamat

tu qadir o 'adil hai magar tere jahan mein

hain talKH bahut banda-e-mazdur ke auqat

kab Dubega sarmaya-parasti ka safina

duniya hai teri muntazir-e-roz-e-mukafat
