ek tuti hui zanjir ki fariyaad hain hum
aur duniya ye samajhti hai ki aazad hain hum

kyun hamein log samajhte hain yahan pardesi
ek muddat se isi shahr mein aabaad hain hum

kahe ka tark-e-watan kahe ki hijrat baba
isi dharti ki isi desh ki aulad hain hum

hum bhi tamir-e-watan mein hain barabar ke sharik
dar-o-diwar agar tum ho to buniyaad hain hum

hum ko is daur-e-taraqqi ne diya kya 'mearaj'
kal bhi barbaad the aur aaj bhi barbaad hain hum
