tamir-o-taraqqi wale hain kahiye bhi to un ko kya kahiye

apni hi zat ke mahbas mein samane se uTha

dikhao surat-e-taza bayan se pahle

nazar mein dur talak rahguzar zaruri hai

talashe ja rahe hain ahd-e-rafta

aangan aangan KHun ke chhinTe chehra chehra be-chehra

hamein hijrat samajh mein itni aai

yahi ek saneha kuchh kam nahin hai

shoKHi kisi mein hai na shararat hai ab obaid

hamein to KHwab ka ek shahr aankhon mein basana tha

TuTta rahta hai mujh mein KHud mera apna wajud

mere jazbaat aansuon wale

jahan pahunchne ki KHwahish mein umr bit gai

ghaTti baDhti rahi parchhain meri KHud mujhse

jab dhup sar pe thi to akela tha mein obaid
