Rah rah ke zabani kabhi tahrir se humne

rah rah ke zabani kabhi tahrir se hum ne
qael kiya us ko isi tadbir se hum ne

kis samt liye jate ho aur kya hai irada
puchha na kabhi apne inan-gir se hum ne

dil par koi qabu na raha jab to kisi taur
bandha hai ye wahshi teri zanjir se hum ne

har bar madad ke liye auron ko pukara
ya kaam liya nara-e-takbir se hum ne

behtar hai ki ab kaam koi aur kiya kar
ye bhi na kaha katib taqdir se hum ne

apni hi karamat dikhate rahe sab ko
sarqa na kiya mojaza-e-'mir' se hum ne

taKHrib to karte rahe sau tarha ki lekin
ye kaam kiya jazba-e-tamir se hum ne

ab dekhiye kya is ka nikalta hai natija
matha hai lagaya hua tasir se hum ne

wo baam-e-tamasha hua ghaeb to 'zafar' aaj
laTka liya KHud ko kisi shahtir se hum ne
