ab kis kaa jashn manaate ho us des kaa jo taqsiim huaa
ab kis ke giit sunaate ho us tan-man kaa jo do-niim huaa
us Khvaab kaa jo rezaa rezaa un aaNkhon kii taqadiir huaa
us naam kaa jo TukaDaa TukaDaa galiyon mein be-tauqiir huaa
us parcham kaa jis kii hurmat baazaaron mein niilaam hu_ii
us miTTii kaa jis kii hurmat mansuub uduu ke naam hu_ii
us jang ko jo tum haar chuke us rasm kaa jo jaarii bhii nahiin
us zaKhm kaa jo siine pe na thaa us jaan kaa jo vaarii bhii nahiin
us Khuun kaa jo bad_qismat thaa raahon mein bahaayaa tan mein rahaa
us phuul kaa jo beqiimat thaa aaNgan mein khilaa yaa ban mein rahaa
us mashriq kaa jis ko tum ne neze kii anii marham samajhaa
us maGarib kaa jis ko tum ne jitana bhii luuTaa kam samajhaa
un maasuumon kaa jin ke lahuu se tum ne farozaaN raten kiin
yaa un mazaluumon kaa jis se Khanjar kii zubaaN mein baaten kiin
us mariyam kaa jis kii iffat luTatii hai bhare baazaaron mein
us iisaa kaa jo qaatil hai aur shaamil hai Gam_Khvaaron mein
in nauhaagaron kaa jin ne hamen Khud qatl kiyaa Khud rote hain
aise bhii kahiin dam_saaz hue aise jallaad bhii hote hain
un bhuuke nange DhaaNchon kaa jo raqs sar-e-baazaar karen
yaa un zaalim qazzaaqon kaa jo bhes badal kar vaar karen
yaa un JhuuTe iqaraaron kaa jo aaj talak aifaa na hue
yaa un bebas laachaaron kaa jo aur bhii dukh kaa nishaanaa hue
is shaahii kaa jo dast-ba-dast aa_ii hai tumhaare hisse mein
kyon nang-e-vatan kii baat karo kyaa rakhaa hai is qisse mein
aaNkhon mein chhupaaye ashkon ko honThon mein vafaa ke bol liye
is jashn mein bhii shaamil huuN nauhon se bharaa kashkol liye
