ab kis ka jashn manate ho us des ka jo taqsim hua
ab kis k git sunate ho us tan-man ka jo do-nim hua
us khvab ka jo reza reza un ankhon ki taqdir hua
us nam ka jo tukra tukra galiyon main be-tauqir hua
us parcham ka jis ki hurmat bazaron main nilam hui
us mitti ka jis ki hurmat mansub udu k nam hui
us jang ko jo tum har chuk us rasm ka jo jari bhi nahin
us zakhm ka jo sine pe na tha us jan ka jo vari bhi nahin
us khun ka jo badqismat tha rahon main bahaya tan main raha
us phul ka jo beqimat tha angan main khila ya ban main raha
us mashriq ka jis ko tum ne neze ki ani marham samajha
us magrib ka jis ko tum ne jitna bhi luta kam samajha
un masumon ka jin k lahu se tum ne farozan raten kin
ya un mazlumon ka jis se khanjar ki zuban main baten kin
us mariyam ka jis ki iffat lutti hai bhare bazaron main
us isa ka jo qatil hai aur shamil hai gamkhvaron main
in nauhagaron ka jin ne hamain khud qatl kiya khud rote hain
aise bhi kahin damsaz hue aise jallad bhi hote hain
un bhuk nange dhanchon ka jo raqs sar-e-bazar karain
ya un zalim qazzaqon ka jo bhes badal kar var karain
ya un Jhute iqraron ka jo aj talak aifa na hue
ya un bebas lacharon ka jo aur bhi dukh ka nishana hue
is shahi ka jo dast-ba-dast ai hai tumhare hisse main
kyon nang-e-vatan ki bat karo kya rakha hai is qisse main
ankhon main chupaye ashkon ko honthon main vafa k bol liye
is jashn main bhi shamil hun nauhon se bhara kashkol liye
