har sub.h apne ghar men usi vaqt jagna
azad log bhi to giraftar se rahe

peD uncha hai magar zer-e-zamin kitna hai
lab pe hai nam-e-khuda dil men yaqin kitna hai

ham ne to muund liin ankhen hi tiri diid ke baad
bul-havas jante hain koi hasin kitna hai

kabhi to lagta hai gumrah kar ga.i mujh ko
sukhan-vari kabhi paighambari si lagti hai

ham haar to jaate hi ki dushman ke hamare
sau pair the sau haath the ik sar hi nahin tha

dekho to har ik shakhs ke hathon men hain patthar
puchho to kahin shahr banane ke liye hai

ham haar to jaate hi ki dushman ke hamaare
sau pair the sau haath the ik sar hi nahin thaa

ham ne to muund liin aankhein hi tiri diid ke baad
bul-havas jaante hain koi hasin kitnaa hai

dekho to har ik shakhs ke haathon mein hain patthar
puchho to kahin shahr banaane ke liye hai

har subh apne ghar mein usi vaqt jaagnaa
aazaad log bhi to giraftaar se rahe

do paanv hain jo haar ke ruk jaate hain
ik sar hai jo divaar se Takraataa hai

peD unchaa hai magar zer-e-zamin kitnaa hai
lab pe hai naam-e-khudaa dil mein yaqin kitnaa hai
