mausam-e-rang bhi hai fasl-e-KHizan bhi tari

mausam-e-rañg bhī hai fasl-e-ḳhizāñ bhī taarī

dekhnā ḳhuun ke dhabbe haiñ ki hai gul-kārī

us se har tarah se tazlīl-e-bashar hotī hai

bā.is-e-faḳhr nahīñ muflisī-o-nā-dārī

inqilābī ho to hai faqr bhī tauqīr-e-hayāt

varna hai ājizī-o-be-kasī-o-ayyārī

sho.ala-e-gul kī baḌhā detī hai lau-e-bād-e-bahār

tah-e-shabnam bhī dahak uThtī hai ik chiñgārī

lamha lamha hai ki hai qāfila-e-manzil-e-nūr

sarhad-e-shab meñ bhī farmān-e-sahar hai jaarī

teġh-o-ḳhanjar ko atā karte haiñ lafzoñ kī niyām

zulm kī karte haiñ jab ahl-e-sitam tayyārī

harf-e-'sardār' meñ poshīda haiñ asrār-e-hayāt

sher-e-'sardār' meñ hai sarkashī-o-sar-shārī

sher-e-'sardār' meñ hai sho.ala-e-be-bāk kā rañg

harf-e-'sardār' meñ haq-goī-o-ḳhush-guftārī

mausam-e-rang bhi hai fasl-e-KHizan bhi tari

dekhna KHun ke dhabbe hain ki hai gul-kari

us se har tarah se tazlil-e-bashar hoti hai

bais-e-faKHr nahin muflisi-o-na-dari

inqilabi ho to hai faqr bhi tauqir-e-hayat

warna hai aajizi-o-be-kasi-o-ayyari

shoala-e-gul ki baDha deti hai lau-e-baad-e-bahaar

tah-e-shabnam bhi dahak uThti hai ek chingari

lamha lamha hai ki hai qafila-e-manzil-e-nur

sarhad-e-shab mein bhi farman-e-sahar hai jari

tegh-o-KHanjar ko ata karte hain lafzon ki niyam

zulm ki karte hain jab ahl-e-sitam tayyari

harf-e-'sardar' mein poshida hain asrar-e-hayat

sher-e-'sardar' mein hai sarkashi-o-sar-shaari

sher-e-'sardar' mein hai shoala-e-be-bak ka rang

harf-e-'sardar' mein haq-goi-o-KHush-guftari
