aap bevajah pareshaan-sii kyon hain maadaam

log kahate hain to phir thiik hii kahate honge

mere ehabaab ne tahaziib na siikhii hogii

mere maahaul men insaan na rahate honge

nuur-e-saramaayaa se hai ruu-e-tamaddun kii jilaa

ham jahaan hain vahaan tahaziib nahiin pal sakatii

mufalisii hiss-e-lataafat ko mitaa detii hai

bhuuk aadaab ke saanche men nahiin dhal sakatii

log kahate hain to logon pe t’ajjub kaisaa

sach to kahate hain ki naadaaron kii izzat kaisii

log kahate hain – magar aap abhii tak chup hain

aap bhii kahiye gariibon men sharaafat kaisii

nek maadaam Bahut jald vo daur aayegaa

jab hamen ziist ke adavaar parakhane honge

apanii zillat kii qasam, aap kii azamat kii qasam

hamako taa’ziim ke meaar parakhane honge

hamane har daur men tazaliil sahii hai lekin

hamane har daur ke chehare ko ziyaa baKhshii hai

hamane har daur men mehanat ke sitam jhele hain

hamane har daur ke haathon ko hinaa baKhshii hai

lekin in talKh mubaahis se bhalaa kyaa haasil

log kahate hain to phir thiik hii kahate honge

mere ehabaab ne tahaziib na siikhii hogii

mere maahaul men insaan na rahate honge
