munawwar jism-o-jaan hone lage hain
ki hum khud par ayan hone lage hain

ba-zahir to dikhai de rahe hain
ba-baatin hum dhuan hone lage hain

jinhen tarikh bhi likhte daregi
wo hangame yahan hone lage hain

bahut se log kyun jaane achanak
tabiat par giran hone lage hain

faza mein murtaish bhi be-asar bhi
hum aawaz-e-azan hone lage hain

siyasi log ab chole badal kar
khuda ke tarjuman hone lage hain

jo hum ko jaan se badh kar chahte the
nasib-e-dushmanan hone lage hain

wo chingari jo ain-e-muddaa hai
to hum shola-ba-jaan hone lage hain

kabhi the nafa apna aap hum bhi
magar ab to ziyan hone lage hain

aziyat-koshiyon ka faiz dekho
masail dastan hone lage hain

bayan hum ko karega wo kahan se
ki hum to khud bayan hone lage hain

zara aape mein rakkho khud ko 'akmal'
ki bachche ab jawan hone lage hain
