Ai Ruh-e-zindagi

ai ruh-e-zindagi

ai KHuda ki quwwat-e-taKHliq

kaun si nai duniyaen aabaad karne mein masruf ho gai hai tu

is hamari duniya ki jaanib bhi palaT kar dekh

jo lamha-ba-lamha viran se viran-tar hoti ja rahi hai

ai ruh-e-zindagi

ai awwalin raushni ki abadi lau

maut ke andheron ko chirti hui aa

dekh main bazu khole khaDa hun

aa aur apni lapeT mein le le mujhe

meri aankhon se dekh

mere zehn se soch

mere KHwabon mein utar kar maKHluq-e-KHuda ki aarzuon ka andaza kar

mere dil mein paDaw kar

is ke shikasta aaine mein hamari haalat dekh

aur naghma chheD

jo kamzoron ki TuTi hui himmat ko az-sar-e-nau jawan kar de

wo sur phunk

jo zalimon ke dast o bazu ko toD kar rakh de

wo aah bhar jo faqon marti maKHluq par rizq ki barish ban kar baras jae

wo sada kar

jo niyat ke futur ko husn-e-KHayal mein

aur natije ki aziyyat ko husn-e-amal mein badal de

ai ruh-e-zindagi

ai KHuda ki quwwat-e-izhaar

meri duniya mein tere rang phike paD gae hain

dekh arbon insan jite-ji mar rahe hain

na-insani bad-amni mayusi bimari aur jahaalat ne

teri taswir mein maut ke rang bharne shurua kar diye hain

aa, aur bol mere andar se

aa, mera kalam ban ja bayan ban ja mera qalam ban ja mu-qalam ban ja

aa, insaf amn aur aazadi ko tarse huon ki ummid ban ja

aa, dosti mohabbat aur barabari se mahrum maKHluq ki Dhaaras bandhane aa

aa, aur jaldi aa

ki tujhe pukarte pukarte kahin main hath toD kar na baiTh jaun
