rang mausam ke sath lae hain
ye parinde kahan se aae hain

baith jate hain rah-rau thak kar
kitne himmat-shikan ye sae hain

dhup apni zamin hai apni
ped apne nahin parae hain

apne ahbab ki khushi ke liye
bila-irada bhi muskurae hain

dushmanon ko qarib se dekha
doston ke fareb khae hain

hum ne toda hai zulmaton ka fusun
raushni ke bhi tir khae hain

dekh le mud kar mahw-e-araish
aaina ban ke hum bhi aae hain

pai-ba-pai rah ki shikaston ne
hausle aur bhi badhae hain

zindagi hai usi ka nam 'ejaz'
hain wo apne jo gham parae hain
