qaum ne paiġhām-e-gautam kī zarā parvā na kī
qadr pahchānī na apne gauhar-e-yak-dāna kī
aah bad-qismat rahe āvāz-e-haq se be-ḳhabar
ġhāfil apne phal kī shīrīnī se hotā hai shajar
āshkār us ne kiyā jo zindagī kā raaz thā
hind ko lekin ḳhayālī falsafa par naaz thā
sham-e-haq se jo munavvar ho ye vo mahfil na thī
bārish-e-rahmat huī lekin zamīñ qābil na thī
aah shūdar ke liye hindostāñ ġham-ḳhāna hai
dard-e-insānī se is bastī kā dil begāna hai
barhaman sarshār hai ab tak mai-e-pindār meñ
sham-e-gautam jal rahī hai mahfil-e-aġhyār meñ
but-kada phir baad muddat ke magar raushan huā
nūr-e-ibrāhīm se aazar kā ghar raushan huā
phir uThī āḳhir sadā tauhīd kī punjab se
hind ko ik mard-e-kāmil ne jagāyā ḳhvāb se
qaum ne paigham-e-gautam ki zara parwa na ki
qadr pahchani na apne gauhar-e-yak-dana ki
aah bad-qismat rahe aawaz-e-haq se be-KHabar
ghafil apne phal ki shirini se hota hai shajar
aashkar us ne kiya jo zindagi ka raaz tha
hind ko lekin KHayali falsafa par naz tha
sham-e-haq se jo munawwar ho ye wo mahfil na thi
barish-e-rahmat hui lekin zamin qabil na thi
aah shudar ke liye hindostan gham-KHana hai
dard-e-insani se is basti ka dil begana hai
barhaman sarshaar hai ab tak mai-e-pindar mein
sham-e-gautam jal rahi hai mahfil-e-aghyar mein
but-kada phir baad muddat ke magar raushan hua
nur-e-ibrahim se aazar ka ghar raushan hua
phir uThi aaKHir sada tauhid ki punjab se
hind ko ek mard-e-kaamil ne jagaya KHwab se
