wali
ai dakan kī sar-zamīñ ai qibla-e-hindostāñ
tere zarre mehr haiñ terī zamīñ hai āsmāñ
azmat-e-māzī kā dil-afroz nazzāra hai tū
mashriq-e-tahzīb kā pākīza gahvāra hai to
tere har pahlū meñ haiñ ehsās kī bedāriyāñ
tere har manzar meñ haiñ jazbāt kī sarshāriyāñ
hai ḳhizāñ nā-āshnā tere gulistāñ kī bahār
tujh pe hai sāya-fagan dāmān-e-lutf-e-kirdgār
tere dariyā-e-karam kā josh gauhar-bez hai
terī zar-afshāñ zamīñ kā faiz-e-mardum-ḳhez hai
jo javāhar tū ne chamkā.e haiñ apnī ḳhaak se
un kā siina bhar diyā hai jalva-e-idrāk se
vo 'valī' terā hī ik farzand hai ḳhāk-e-vatan
jis kī azmat ne kiyā dehlī meñ āġhāz-e-suḳhan
ruuh meñ jis ne bharī urdu ke be-jāñ jaam meñ
kaif-e-ehsās-e-amal hai jis ke har paiġhām meñ
ik hayāt-e-nau atā kī jis ne maujūdāt ko
jis ne dī ik rūh-e-tāza qalb-e-ehsāsāt ko
us fazā-e-āb-o-gil ko nuur jis ne kar diyā
zarre zarre ko jo ab tuur jis ne kar diyā
soz kī rañgīniyāñ barsā.eñ jis ne saaz se
jagmagā uTThe sitāre jis kī har parvāz se
jis kī fayyāzī se har qatra samundar ho gayā
jis ke naqsh-e-pā se har zarra munavvar ho gayā
jo nahīñ ham meñ magar ham yaad karte haiñ jise
dil ke sherisitān meñ ābād karne luuñ jise
muḳhlisāna yaad meñ jis kī hai apnā naam bhī
yād-e-māzī meñ hai mustaqbil kā ik paiġhām bhī
ai dakan ki sar-zamin ai qibla-e-hindostan
tere zarre mehr hain teri zamin hai aasman
azmat-e-mazi ka dil-afroz nazzara hai tu
mashriq-e-tahzib ka pakiza gahwara hai to
tere har pahlu mein hain ehsas ki bedariyan
tere har manzar mein hain jazbaat ki sarshaariyan
hai KHizan na-ashna tere gulistan ki bahaar
tujh pe hai saya-fagan daman-e-lutf-e-kirdgar
tere dariya-e-karam ka josh gauhar-bez hai
teri zar-afshan zamin ka faiz-e-mardum-KHez hai
jo jawahar tu ne chamkae hain apni KHak se
un ka sina bhar diya hai jalwa-e-idrak se
wo 'wali' tera hi ek farzand hai KHak-e-watan
jis ki azmat ne kiya dehli mein aaghaz-e-suKHan
ruh mein jis ne bhari urdu ke be-jaan jam mein
kaif-e-ehsas-e-amal hai jis ke har paigham mein
ek hayat-e-nau ata ki jis ne maujudat ko
jis ne di ek ruh-e-taza qalb-e-ehsasat ko
us faza-e-ab-o-gil ko nur jis ne kar diya
zarre zarre ko jo ab tur jis ne kar diya
soz ki ranginiyan barsaen jis ne saz se
jagmaga uTThe sitare jis ki har parwaz se
jis ki fayyazi se har qatra samundar ho gaya
jis ke naqsh-e-pa se har zarra munawwar ho gaya
jo nahin hum mein magar hum yaad karte hain jise
dil ke sherisitan mein aabaad karne lun jise
muKHlisana yaad mein jis ki hai apna nam bhi
yaad-e-mazi mein hai mustaqbil ka ek paigham bhi
