qayamat-khez manzar mangta hai
koi pyasa samundar mangta hai

kahan lal-o-jawahar mangta hai
jo apna dil munawwar mangta hai

jo rakhta hai shuur-e-zindagani
wo apna haq barabar mangta hai

jise mazi ne bakhshi ho muraat
wo mustaqbil munawwar mangta hai

bura bhi chahta hai mera logo
duaen bhi wo aksar mangta hai

election mein ye fashion ho gaya hai
gharibon se tawangar mangta hai

jo apne aap se rahta hai tishna
wahi 'mahmud' aksar mangta hai
