sab ki nazron mein khar hain hum log
apni hasti pe bar hain hum log

gham ki daulat ka kya thikana hai
ab bhi sarmaya-dar hain hum log

apne rone pe aap hanste hain
kaise ba-ikhtiyar hain hum log

ab to manzil na koi naqsh-e-qadam
karwan ka ghubar hain hum log

hum se puchho ki azm kya shai hai
maut se ham-kanar hain hum log

gham ke mare zarur hain 'ahmad'
phir bhi gham ka waqar hain hum log
