mausam-e-rang bhi hai fasl-e-khizan bhi taari
dekhna khuun ke dhabbe hain ki hai gul-kari
us se har tarah se tazlil-e-bashar hoti hai
bais-e-fakhr nahin muflisi-o-na-dari
inqilabi ho to hai faqr bhi tauqir-e-hayat
varna hai ajizi-o-be-kasi-o-ayyari
shoala-e-gul ki badha deti hai lau-e-bad-e-bahar
tah-e-shabnam bhi dahak uthti hai ik chingari
lamha lamha hai ki hai qafila-e-manzil-e-nur
sarhad-e-shab men bhi farman-e-sahar hai jaari
tegh-o-khanjar ko ata karte hain lafzon ki niyam
zulm ki karte hain jab ahl-e-sitam tayyari
harf-e-‘sardar’ men poshida hain asrar-e-hayat
sher-e-‘sardar’ men hai sarkashi-o-sar-shari
sher-e-‘sardar’ men hai shoala-e-be-bak ka rang
harf-e-‘sardar’ men haq-goi-o-khush-guftari
