Torr lenge hr ik shai se rishta torr dene ki naubat to aye..

Torr lenge hr ik shai se rishta torr dene ki naubat to aye,
Hum qayamat ke khud muntazir hain pr kisi din qayaamat to aye,

Hum bhi suqraat hain ehd-e-nau ke tishna-lab hi na mar jayen yaro,
Zehr ho ya mai-e-aatisheen ho koi jaam-e-shahaadat to aye,

Ek tehzeeb hai dosti ki ek meyaar hai dushmani ka,
Doston ne muravvat na seekhi dushmanon ko adawat to aye,

Rind raste mei aankhen bichaayen jo kahe bin sune maan jayen,
Naaseh -e- nek-teenat kisi shab suu-e-kuu-e-malaamat to aaye,

Ilm-o-tehzeeb tareekh-o-mantaq log sochenge in maslon pr,
Zindagi ke mashaqqat-qade mei koi ehd-e-faraaghat to aaye,

Kaamp uthen qasr-e-shaahi ke gumbad thartharaaye zameen maabadon ki,
Kuucha-gardon ki vehshat to jaage gham-zadon ko baghaawat to aye..
