kahan TuTi hain zanjiren hamari

kahan badli hain taqriren hamari

watan tha zehn mein zindan nahin tha

chaman KHwabon ka yun viran nahin tha

bahaaron ne diye wo dagh hum ko

nazar aata hai maqtal bagh hum ko

gharon ko chhoD kar jab hum chale the

hamare dil mein kya kya walwale the

ye socha tha hamara raj hoga

sar-e-mehnat-kashan par taj hoga

na luTega koi mehnat kisi ki

milegi sab ko daulat zindagi ki

na chatengi hamara KHun mashinen

banengi rashk-e-jannat ye zaminen

koi gauhar koi aadam na hoga

kisi ko rahzanon ka gham na hoga

luTi har-gam par ummid apni

moharram ban gai har id apni

musallat hai saron par raat ab tak

wahi hai surat-e-haalat ab tak
