us ka chehra, us ke khadd-o-khal yaad aate nahin
ik shabistan yaad hai
ik barhana jism atish-dan ke paas
farsh par qalin, qalinon pe sej
dhaat aur patthar ke but
gosha-e-divar men hanste hue!
aur atish-dan men angaron ka shor
un buton ki be-hisi par khashm-gin
ujli ujli unchi divaron pe aks
un farangi hakimon ki yadgar
jin ki talvaron ne rakkha tha yahan
sang-e-buniyad-e-farang!
us ka chehra us ke khadd-o-khal yaad aate nahin
ik barhana jism ab tak yaad hai
ajnabi aurat ka jism,
mere honton ne liya tha raat bhar
jis se arbab-e-vatan ki be-hisi ka intiqam
vo barhana jism ab tak yaad hai!
