ku-e-sitam ki khamushi aabaad kuchh to ho
kuchh to kaho sitam-kasho, fariyaad kuchh to ho

bedad-gar se shikwa-e-bedad kuchh to ho
bolo ki shor-e-hashr ki ijad kuchh to ho

marne chale to satwat-e-qatil ka khauf kya
itna to ho ki bandhne pae na dast o pa

maqtal mein kuchh to rang jame jashn-e-raqs ka
rangin lahu se panja-e-sayyaad kuchh to ho

khun par gawah daman-e-jallad kuchh to ho
jab khun-baha talab karen buniyaad kuchh to ho

gar tan nahin zaban sahi aazad kuchh to ho
dushnam nala hao-hu fariyaad kuchh to ho

chikhe hai dard ai dil-e-barbaad kuchh to ho
bolo ki shor-e-hashr ki ijad kuchh to ho

bolo ki roz-e-adl ki buniyaad kuchh to ho
