“Haq baat per korain aur zindan
Batil ke shikanje mein hai ye jaa'n
Insaa'n hai ke sehme bethe hain
Khoo'n khawar darinde hai raqsa'n
Har shaam yahan sham e veera'n
Aseb zada raste galiyan
Jis shehar ki dhun mein nikle the
Wo sheehr e dil barbaad kahan
Sehra ko chaman
Ban ko gulshan
Badal ko rida kiya likhna
Ae mere watan ke funkaron
Zullmat pe na apna fun waro
Ye mehal sara saraon ke basi
Qatil hai sab hi apne yaaron
Virsey main humain ye ghum hi mila 
Is gham ko naya kya likhna
Zulmat ko zia, sar sar ko saba
Bande ko khuda kya likhna...”
