Kushtagan-e-KHanjar-e-taslim-ra

sakina!
jab kahani KHatm hogi

KHak ki tasir badlegi
zamin shoala-ba-shoala

khinch li jaegi un tarik konon mein
jinhen raushan zamane

satr-e-mustahkam ke andar faslon mein rakh gae the
sakina!

jab badan farsh-e-sitam par
do qadam chalne lagega

asr-e-be-hangam se jiwan
nai duniyaon ke raste nikalega

myan-e-ab-o-gil
kis ko KHabar

kya kya nikal aae
hamare dekhte an-dekhte

kya kya badal jae
hamare sath gird-o-pesh

jitni suraten hain
sab fana ke raqs mein hain

aur ye raqs-e-fana
apna irada to nahin hai

bayabanon ki paimaish
mere chaak-e-gareban se

ziyaada to nahin hai!
