HAI YE KHOOBI KE HAR EK KHAAMI KA IKRAAR KARO
SHAKHE GUL HUN MAI MUJHE DEKHO NA TALWAAR KARO

AKBARI SHAAN GEERI ADL O JURRAT E ZAF AR

KYA APNE TAAJ AJAYAB GHARON SE LE AAYEN
SOCH LO JAAN LO PHIR HUMKO BEKARAAR KARO

SISKIYAAN BABRI MASJID KI AB BHI AATI HAIN
YE AUR BAAT HAI AB SAB KA AAFTAAR KARO

YAZEED E WAQT GAR AAYE JO MUQABIL TO
HUSAIN IBNE ALI KI TARAH INKAAR KARO

JHAGDE FIRKE KE YE MASLAK KI LADAI AUR TUM
APNE HAALAT APNE HAATHON NA DUSHWAAR KARO

KOI KUCH BHI KAHE ISLAM SE SEEKHA HAI Sareer
KHUDA SE AUR USKE BANDON SE TUM PYAAR KARO
