masti-e-rindana hum sairabi-e-mai-khana hum
gardish-e-taqdir se hain gardish-e-paimana hum

khun-e-dil se chashm-e-tar tak chashm-e-tar se ta-ba-khak
kar gae aakhir gul-o-gulzar har virana hum

kya bala jabr-e-asiri hai ki aazadi mein bhi
dosh par apne liye phirte hain zindan-khana hum

rah mein faujon ke pahre sar pe talwaron ki chhanw
aae hain zindan mein bhi ba-shaukat-e-shahana hum

mitte mitte de gae hum zindagi ko rang-o-nur
rafta rafta ban gae is ahd ka afsana hum

ya jaga dete hain zarron ke dilon mein mai-kade
ya bana lete hain mehr-o-mah ko paimana hum

qaid ho kar aur bhi zindan mein udta hai khayal
raqs zanjiron mein bhi karte hain aazadana hum
