Himmat kahan se laayen

Jurm e sukhan karne ki himmat kahan se laayen
Khuda se na ata ho to woh jur’at kahan se laayen

Jaan pyaari hai sab ko, per chaman se khub yaari bhi
Woh baaghbaan banen kaise utni ulfat kahan se laayen

Aawaaz na uthaayi ab to paamaali phailegi har ja
Chaman ke gul murjha gaye to Basant kahan se laayen

Insan hain kamzor faqat khaamiyaan sab be shumaar
Buland ho sada uski jo na soche jur’at kahan se laayen

Jism o jaan to khaak hain ‘sahil’ khaak se hi mil jayange
Sukhan tera goonje ga, ab bata himmat kahan se laayen

Himmat har jaan men hai khuda ki karamat, yaro
Baatin me isey dhundiye mat kehiye himmat kahan se laayen

Jurm e sukhan. The guts of speaking against atrocities
Ata ho. Gifted
Paamaali. Devastation
Faqat. Only
Sada. Aawaaz
Jur’at. Courage
Sukhan. Speech. Writings
Karamat. Miraculous powers. Miracles, divine powers
