Woh bejhijak mashoor Unani dio ke tharana naheen,
jis ka fetah karna wala haath paon suffer karte hain zameen sa
zameen taraf;
Yahaan hamaaraa samandar-dhoya, dhuptay hua sooraj ka
darwaazaa karay hain
Ek mazboot oarat shamaa ka saath, Jis ka shola
roshni qaid, aor us ki naam
Jalaa-watan ke Ma. Un ka roshen-hatt se
dunia ko chamakta hai khush amdeed; us ke narm aankh batate hai
Hawa pul bandargaah jo jora wa shehr ko milaata hain har taraf se.
“Rakho, qadeem zameen, aap ki kahani taqreeb dekhaana!” rote hai wo
khamosh hont ke saat. “Dedo mujhe apne thaka huwa, apne gareeb,
apne kabella majmaa jo khoaahish kartaa hain azaadi ke saans,
Inkaar hua wala un badnaseeb tumhare bharaa hua sahilo.
Bhejna ye, ghar ke baghayr, tufaan-bachana wala mayra raasta,
main uthana mayra bijli sona darwaazaa pass!”
