Jila-watan shahzad-gan ka jashn

qabr ki miTTi chura kar bhagne walon mein hum afzal nahin
hum koi qatil nahin

bismil nahin
munjamid KHunin chaTanon par do-zanu baiTh kar

ghumti sui ke raste ki salibon se Tapakte
qatra qatra surKH-ru sayyal ko

ungliyon par gin rahe hain
chun rahe hain

manzar-e-neelofari ki jhil mein
girta hua ek aasman-e-nur ka zaKHKHar shor

hum ki apni tishnagi ke sab zaruf
apni apni past-qad dahliz par toD aae the

nariyal ke aasman andoKHta sayon tale
laDkhaDa kar

aatishin sahil ki jalti ret par aundhe paDe hain
aatishin sayyal jab jab

jism ki sarhad pe ghash khae sipahi ki ragon ko chheDta hai
hosh aata hai

to chaaron samt raushan dekhte hain
ek alaw be-karan

jis mein tamam aasmanon ki ridaen jal rahi hain
aur phir

jalte gulabon se ubharti zafrani raushni
hum ko salami de rahi hai
