Watan Ke Jaan-Nisaron Ko Milengi beDiyan Kab Tak

Tashna Azmi

vatan ke jan-nisaron ko milengi beḌiyan kab tak

liya ja.ega aḳhir-kar ham se imtihan kab tak

uTha karta rahega yuun nasheman se dhuan kab tak

hamare ashiyanon par girengi bijliyan kab tak

zamir ahl-e-siyasat ka bhala kis roz jagega

jalega nafraton ki aag men hindostan kab tak

na samjhao hamen manshur apne bas ye batla do

hamen bhar peT mil pa.engi aḳhir roTiyan kab tak

asar kab tak karengi zahr men Duubi ye taqriren

dilon men aap rakhenge hamare duriyan kab tak

bhala kis roz TuTengi rivayat ki ye zanjiren

jahezon ke liye jalti rahengi beTiyan kab tak

jahan hangama barpa ho vahan hai kufr ḳhamoshi

ai ‘tashna’ tum bhi kuchh bolo rahoge be-zaban kab tak
