dar-ba-dar mazdur ki taqdir soch
mar gaya hai kyon bhala rahgir soch

aalam-e-pazhmurdagi ke darmiyan
hauslon se pur koi tahrir soch

aa ke maqtal mein tazabzub kis liye
khwab dekha hai to phir tabir soch

ek makan-e-mukhtasar se khush na ho
ye zamin ho kis tarah taskhir soch

zulm sahna zulm ki taid hai
kaise tute zulm ki zanjir soch

be-sabab takhrib-e-gulshan rok de
phul ho jaen agar shamshir soch

tu nigahon se churaata hai sukun
ye khata hai laiq-e-tazir soch

lash bachche ki liye sakit hai wo
kyon na roya sahib-e-taswir soch

sab to apne the adu koi na tha
kar diya paiwast kis ne tir soch

shikwa-e-iflas 'asad' chhod kar
kyon biki ajdad ki jagir soch
