    kyā hind zindāñ kaañp rahā hai guuñj rahī haiñ takbīreñ

    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

    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
