asman tapte hue lohe ki manind safed
reg sukhi hui pyase ki zaban ki manind
pyaas hulqum men hai jism men hai jaan men hai
sar-ba-zanu huun jhulaste hue registan men
teri sarkar men le aai huun ye vahsh zabih!
mujh pe lazim thi jo qurbani vo main ne kar di
us ki ubli hui ankhon men abhi tak hai chamak
aur siyah-bal hain bhige hue khuun se ab tak
tera farman ye tha us pe koi daagh na ho
so ye be-aib achhuta bhi tha an-dekha bhi
be-karan reg men sab garm lahu jazb hua
dekh chadar pe miri sabt hai us ka dhabba
ai khuda-vand-e-kabir
ai jabbar!
mutakabbir o jalil!
haan tire naam padhe aur kiya zabh use
ab koi para-e-abr aae kahin saaya ho
ai khuda-vand-e-azim
bad-e-taskin! ke nafas aag bana jaata hai!
qatra-e-ab ki jaan lab pe chali aai hai
