سہارا دے نہیں سکتے شکستہ پاؤں کو

Sahaara de nahin sakte shikasta panw koHatao rah-e-mohabbat se rahnumaon ko

Bana raha hun hasin aur mah-laqaon koSaja raha hun main aafaq ki fazaon ko

Nazar nazar se milata hun muskuraata hunJunun ki shan dikhata hun dil-rubaon ko

Qadam qadam pe nae inqalab raqsan hainDuaen dete hain hum aap ki adaon ko

Mila jo daman-e-sahil to aisi mauj aaiSafine saunp diye hum ne na-khudaon ko

Nigah pherne walon se puchhta hun mainTum aazmaoge kab tak meri wafaon ko

Abhi to dasht-o-daman mein bahaar aai haiAbhi chaman mein khilane hain gul hawaon ko

Chale hain jaanib-e-dar-o-rasan kharabaatiGunah ka rang dikhana hai parsaon ko

Har ek lamha-e-nau ka ab ehtiram karoNaya payam do 'akhtar' nai fazaon ko
