damakte suraj ki aankh khulne ka waqt aaya
zamin ke lawe ne karwaten lin

falak ne dekha to kanp uttha
ye sar-phire log kaun se hain hawa ne puchha

sune hue azm ke nishan un ke zard chehron pe khil uthe hain
ye log din-raat jagte hain

ye chahte hain ki zard mitti pe surkh phulon ki barishen hon
zamin ki wusat pe qarya qarya muhafizon ki alag zamin ho

zamin ke be-taj baadshahon ne hum ko luta hai qarya qarya
hamari jholi mein bhik dali hai

bhik mein wahime diye hain
ye wahime hi hamare ghar hain

hum un gharon mein kai zamanon se rah rahe hain
gharon ki diwaren rafta rafta simat rahi hain

chhaten dhamakon se phat rahi hain
hum un ke malbe mein dab rahe hain

qaran qaran jaan-ba-lab rahe hain
phir ab to ye ahd kar liya hai

ye ghar rahenge ya hum rahenge
kabhi na donon baham rahenge

zamin pe sailab aane wala hai
us mein poshida wo ujala hai

jis se sadiyon ki tirgi par nashe ufuq ki nazar padegi
usi ujale ki wusaton mein wo roz hai jis ki ek jumbish

har ek diwar tod degi
lahu sitam ka nichhod degi

wo ghar bhi mitti pe aa rahenge
jo ghar nahin hain hamare zindan hain

jin ki takhti badalti rahti hai
nam un ke hazar rakkhe gae hain

phir bhi hawas ke zindan to ek jaise hain
ek zanjir hi ki kadiyan

alag alag bhi hain ek bhi hain
