ji mein aata hai hum bhi udanen bharen
aasanon ki nili hadon ko chhuen

sagaron aur nadiyon mein ghaltan rahen
shahr mein ganw mein jangalon mein phiren

ji mein aata hai phulon ki rapngat
kheton ka hasin bankpan

bansuri ki wo tanen
papihon ke bol

raqs karti hui in fazaon ki madhoshiyan
kar-khanon ki hangama-araiyan

bhuke pyase mahlon ki viraniyan
dard ki hasraton ki ye tarikiyan

sari mahrumiyan sari majburiyan
apni hasti mein bhar len

subh-dam narm-o-taza bahaaron ke masrur jhonke
hum ko tarik aur gham-zada raat ki

uljhanon wahshaton se dila den najat
jin mein sadiyon se hai qaid apni hayat

nai-o-taza hawaon ke masrur jhonkon mein shakti kahan
ki tauq-o-dar-o-rasan se wo aazad kar den

apni aazadi hum ko hi pani padegi
jaan ki dil ki bazi lagani padegi

zimmedari aham hai uthani padegi
aaj diwar-e-zindan dhani padegi

apni sanson ki garmi se
khwabon ki lau se

apne ashkon ke zahrab se
apne armanon ki lamha lamha dahakti hui aag se

tauq ko aur zanjir ko
qaid ko aur jallad ko

zalimon ki kamin-gah ko
in andheron ke dahshat-zada unche unche minaron ko

pighla den dha den chalo khak kar den
har taraf ek surkhi si chha jaegi

zindagi apni manzil ko pa jaegi
