kaam ab koee na aaega bas ik dil ke siva
raaste band hain sab koocha-e-qaatil ke siva
inqalaab aaega raftaar se maayoos na ho
bahut aahista nahin hai jo bahut tez nahin
sau mileen zindagee se saugaaten
ham ko aavaaragee hee raas aaee
daaman jhatak ke vaadee-e-gam se guzar gaya
uth uth ke dekhatee rahee gard-e-safar mujhe
puraane saal kee thithuree huee parachhaiyaan simateen
nae din ka naya sooraj ufuq par uthata aata hai
ye kis ne fon pe dee saal-e-nau kee tahaniyat mujh ko
tamanna raqs karatee hai takhayyul gunagunaata hai
shikaayaten bhee bahut hain hikaayaten bhee bahut
maza to jab hai ki yaaron ke roo-ba-roo kahie
isee lie to hai zindaan ko justujoo meree
ki mufalisee ko sikhaee hai sar-kashee main ne
bahut barbaad hain lekin sada-e-inqalaab aae
vaheen se vo pukaar uthega jo zarra jahaan hoga
maqatal-e-shauq ke aadaab niraale hain bahut
dil bhee qaatil ko diya karate hain sar se pahale
