Ajnabi aurat

asia ke dur-uftada shabistanon mein bhi
mere KHwabon ka koi ruman nahin!

kash ek diwar-e-zulm
mere un ke darmiyan hail na ho!

ye imaraat-e-qadim
ye KHayaban, ye chaman, ye lala-zar,

chandni mein nauha-KHwan
ajnabi ke dast-e-ghaarat-gar se hain

zindagi ke in nihan-KHanon mein bhi
mere KHwabon ka koi ruman nahin!

kash ek diwar-e-rang
mere un ke darmiyan hael na ho!

ye siyah-paikar barahna rah-rau
ye gharon mein KHub-surat auraton ka zahr-e-KHand

ye guzargahon pe dew-asa jawan
jin ki aankhon mein gurisna aarzuon ki lapak

mushtail be-bak mazduron ka sailab-e-azim!
arz-e-mashriq, ek mubham KHauf se larzan hun main

aaj hum ko jin tamannaon ki hurmat ke sabab
dushmanon ka samna maghrib ke maidanon mein hai

un ka mashriq mein nishan tak bhi nahin!
