ye jo rabt ru-ba-zawal hai ye sawal hai
mujhe is ka kitna malal hai ye sawal hai

ye jo sar pe mere wabaal hai ye sawal hai
ye jo gird-o-pesh ka haal hai ye sawal hai

mujhe kya gharaz mere dushmanon ka hadaf hai kya
mere pas kaun si dhaal hai ye sawal hai

mere sare khwab hain mo'tabar main hun dar-ba-dar
ye uruj hai ki zawal hai ye sawal hai

mere hath shal mere panw shal meri aql gum
koi aur itna nidhaal hai ye sawal hai

mera mazi kitna amir tha main gharib hun
koi ye bhi mazi-o-haal hai ye sawal hai

koi hai jo mujh sa azim ho jo fahim ho
ye sawal koi sawal hai ye sawal hai

nae ahd ki ye taraqqiyan ye tajalliyan
koi is mein mera kamal hai ye sawal hai

wo sada na thi wo to jazb tha wo to ishq tha
meri saf mein koi bilal hai ye sawal hai
