kyā hind zindāñ kaañp rahā hai guuñj rahī haiñ takbīreñ

uktā.e haiñ shāyad kuchh qaidī aur toḌ rahe haiñ zanjīreñ

dīvāroñ ke nīche aa aa kar yuuñ jam.a hue haiñ zindānī

sīnoñ meñ talātum bijlī āñkhoñ meñ jhalaktī shamshīreñ

bhūkoñ nazar meñ bijlī hai topoñ ke dahāne ThanDe haiñ

taqdīr ke lab ko jumbish hai dam toḌ rahī haiñ tadbīreñ

āñkhoñ meñ gadā surḳhī hai be-nūr hai chehra sultāñ

taḳhrīb ne parcham kholā hai sajde meñ paḌī haiñ tāmīreñ

kyā un ko ḳhabar thī zer-o-zabar rakhte the jo rūh-e-millat ko

ubleñge zamīñ se mār-e-siyah barseñgī falak se shamshīreñ

kyā un ko ḳhabar thī sīnoñ se jo ḳhuun churāyā karte the

ik roz isī be-rañgī se jhalkeñgī hazāroñ tasvīreñ

kyā un ko ḳhabar thī hoñToñ par jo qufl lagāyā karte the

ik roz isī ḳhāmoshī se Tapkeñgī dahaktī taqrīreñ

sambhlo ki vo zindāñ guuñj uThā jhapTo ki vo qaidī chhūT ga.e

uTTho ki vo baiThīñ dīvāreñ dauḌo ki vo TuuTī zanjīreñ

kya hind ka zindan kanp raha hai gunj rahi hain takbiren

uktae hain shayad kuchh qaidi aur toD rahe hain zanjiren

diwaron ke niche aa aa kar yun jama hue hain zindani

sinon mein talatum bijli ka aankhon mein jhalakti shamshiren

bhukon ki nazar mein bijli hai topon ke dahane ThanDe hain

taqdir ke lab ko jumbish hai dam toD rahi hain tadbiren

aankhon mein gada ki surKHi hai be-nur hai chehra sultan ka

taKHrib ne parcham khola hai sajde mein paDi hain tamiren

kya un ko KHabar thi zer-o-zabar rakhte the jo ruh-e-millat ko

ublenge zamin se mar-e-siyah barsengi falak se shamshiren

kya un ko KHabar thi sinon se jo KHun churaya karte the

ek roz isi be-rangi se jhalkengi hazaron taswiren

kya un ko KHabar thi honTon par jo qufl lagaya karte the

ek roz isi KHamoshi se Tapkengi dahakti taqriren

sambhlo ki wo zindan gunj uTha jhapTo ki wo qaidi chhuT gae

uTTho ki wo baiThin diwaren dauDo ki wo TuTi zanjiren
