Saans letey huay bhi darta hun

Ye na samjhen ke aah karta hun

Bahr-e-hasti mein hun misaal-e-hubaab

Mit hi jata hun jab ubharta hun

Itni azadi bhi ghanimat hai

Saans leta hun, baat karta hun

Shaikh sahab Khuda se dartey ho?

Main to angrezon hi se darta hun

Aap kya poochtey hain mera mizaaj

Shukr Allah ka hai, marta hun

Ye barra aib mujh mein hai Akbar

Dil mein jo aaye, keh guzarta hun .
