    kas tarah bayāñ ho tirā pairā-e-taqrīr

    goyā sar-e-bātil pe chamakne lagī shamshīr

    vo zor hai ik lafz idhar nutq se niklā

    vaañ sīna-e-aġhyār meñ paivast hue tiir

    garmī bhī hai ThanDak bhī ravānī bhī sakūñ bhī

    tāsīr kyā kahiye hai tāsīr tāsīr

    e.ajāz usī hai ki arbāb-e-sitam

    ab tak koī anjām ko pahuñchī nahīñ tadbīr

    atrāf-e-vatan meñ huā haq baat shohra

    har ek jagah makr-o-riyā huī tash.hīr

    raushan hue ummīd se ruḳh ahl-e-vafā ke

    peshānī-e-ādā pe siyāhī huī tahrīr

    (2)

    hurriyat-e-ādam rah-e-saḳht ke rah-gīr

    ḳhātir meñ nahīñ laate ḳhayāl-e-dam-e-ta.azīr

    kuchh nañg nahīñ ranj-e-asīrī ki purānā

    mardān-e-safā-kesh se hai rishtā-e-zanjīr

    kab dabdaba-e-jabr se dabte haiñ ki jin ke

    īmān o yaqīñ dil meñ kiye rahte haiñ tanvīr

    ma.alūm hai un ko ki rihā hogī kasī din

    zālim ke girāñ haath se mazlūm taqdīr

    āḳhir ko sar-afrāz huā karte haiñ ahrār

    āḳhir ko girā kartī hai har jaur ta.amīr

    har daur meñ sar hote haiñ qasr-e-jam-o-dārā

    har ahd meñ dīvār-e-sitam hotī hai tasḳhīr

    har daur meñ mal.ūn shaqāvat hai 'shimar'

    har ahd meñ mas.ūd hai qurbānī-e-shabbīr

    (3)

    kartā hai qalam apne lab o nutq tathīr

    pahuñchī hai sar-e-haraf-e-duā ab mirī tahrīr

    har kaam meñ barkat ho har ik qaul meñ quvvat

    har gaam pe ho manzil-e-maqsūd qadam-gīr

    har lahza tirā tāle-e-iqbāl sivā ho

    har lahza madad-gār ho tadbīr taqdīr

    har baat ho maqbūl, har ik bol ho baalā

    kuchh aur bhī raunaq meñ baḌhe shola-e-taqrīr

    har din ho tirā lutf-e-zabāñ aur ziyāda

    allāh kare zor-e-bayāñ aur ziyāda

    kas tarah bayan ho tera paira-e-taqrir

    goya sar-e-baatil pe chamakne lagi shamshir

    wo zor hai ek lafz idhar nutq se nikla

    wan sina-e-aghyar mein paiwast hue tir

    garmi bhi hai ThanDak bhi rawani bhi sakun bhi

    tasir ka kya kahiye hai tasir hi tasir

    eajaz usi ka hai ki arbab-e-sitam ki

    ab tak koi anjam ko pahunchi nahin tadbir

    atraf-e-watan mein hua haq baat ka shohra

    har ek jagah makr-o-riya ki hui tashhir

    raushan hue ummid se ruKH ahl-e-wafa ke

    peshani-e-ada pe siyahi hui tahrir

    (2)

    hurriyat-e-adam ki rah-e-saKHt ke rah-gir

    KHatir mein nahin late KHayal-e-dam-e-tazir

    kuchh nang nahin ranj-e-asiri ki purana

    mardan-e-safa-kesh se hai rishta-e-zanjir

    kab dabdaba-e-jabr se dabte hain ki jin ke

    iman o yaqin dil mein kiye rahte hain tanwir

    malum hai un ko ki riha hogi kasi din

    zalim ke giran hath se mazlum ki taqdir

    aaKHir ko sar-afraaz hua karte hain ahrar

    aaKHir ko gira karti hai har jaur ki tamir

    har daur mein sar hote hain qasr-e-jam-o-dara

    har ahd mein diwar-e-sitam hoti hai tasKHir

    har daur mein malun shaqawat hai 'shimar' ki

    har ahd mein masud hai qurbani-e-shabbir

    (3)

    karta hai qalam apne lab o nutq ki tathir

    pahunchi hai sar-e-haraf-e-dua ab meri tahrir

    har kaam mein barkat ho har ek qaul mein quwwat

    har gam pe ho manzil-e-maqsud qadam-gir

    har lahza tera tale-e-iqbaal siwa ho

    har lahza madad-gar ho tadbir ki taqdir

    har baat ho maqbul, har ek bol ho baala

    kuchh aur bhi raunaq mein baDhe shola-e-taqrir

    har din ho tera lutf-e-zaban aur ziyaada

    allah kare zor-e-bayan aur ziyaada
