zof se āñkhoñ ke nīche titliyāñ phirtī huī

auj-e-ḳhuddārī se dil par bijliyāñ girtī huī

laash kāñdhe par ḳhud apne jazba-e-takrīm kī

multajī chehre pe lahreñ sī ummīd-o-bīm kī

izzat-e-ajdād ke sar par damā-dam Thokareñ

rishta-e-āvāz par lafzoñ kī paiham Thokareñ

chehra-e-afsurda par ThanDā pasīna sharm kā

sust nabzeñ bhiik kā lahje ke andar Thīkrā

qarz kī darḳhvāst kī uljhī huī taqrīr meñ

kapkapī a.asāb kī bechain dil kī larzisheñ

ik taraf hājat kī shiddat ik taraf ġhairat kā josh

nutq par harf-e-tamannā dil meñ ġhusse kā ḳharosh

jumbish-e-mizhgāñ ke zer-e-sāya nādārī kī raat

jauhar-e-insāniyat joḌe hue āñkhoñ meñ haat

saañs dahshat se zamīñ kī āsmāñ roke hue

muflisī mardāna lahje kī inaañ roke hue

lab pe ḳhushkī ruḳh pe zardī aañkh sharmā.ī huī

chashm o abrū meñ ḳhudī kī aag kajlā.ī huī

nafas meñ sherāna tevar aarzū rūba-mizāj

ehtiyāj o ehtiyāj o ehtiyāj o ehtiyāj!

zof se aankhon ke niche titliyan phirti hui

auj-e-KHuddari se dil par bijliyan girti hui

lash kandhe par KHud apne jazba-e-takrim ki

multaji chehre pe lahren si ummid-o-bim ki

izzat-e-ajdad ke sar par dama-dam Thokaren

rishta-e-awaz par lafzon ki paiham Thokaren

chehra-e-afsurda par ThanDa pasina sharm ka

sust nabzen bhik ka lahje ke andar Thikra

qarz ki darKHwast ki uljhi hui taqrir mein

kapkapi aasab ki bechain dil ki larzishen

ek taraf hajat ki shiddat ek taraf ghairat ka josh

nutq par harf-e-tamanna dil mein ghusse ka KHarosh

jumbish-e-mizhgan ke zer-e-saya nadari ki raat

jauhar-e-insaniyat joDe hue aankhon mein hat

sans dahshat se zamin ki aasman roke hue

muflisi mardana lahje ki inan roke hue

lab pe KHushki ruKH pe zardi aankh sharmai hui

chashm o abru mein KHudi ki aag kajlai hui
