main lakh buzdil sahi magar main usi qabile ka aadmi hun ki jis ke beton ne
jo kaha us pe jaan de di

main jaanta tha mere qabile ki khema-gahen jalai jaengi aur tamashai
raqs-e-shoala-fishan par israr hi karenge

main jaanta tha mera qabila burida aur be-rida saron ki gawahiyan
le ke aaega phir bhi log inkar hi karenge

so main kamin-gah-e-afiyat mein chala gaya tha
so main aman-gah-e-maslahat mein chala gaya tha

aur ab mujhe mere shahsawaron ka khun aawaz de raha hai
to nazr-e-sar le ke aa gaya hun

tabah hone ko ek ghar le ke aa gaya hun
main lakh buzdil sahi magar main usi qabile ka aadmi hun!
