main ne zamin ki tapti ragon pe hath dhare hain
main ne zamin ki tapti ragon se

tapte lahu ko ubalte dekha hai
un raston pe un galiyon pe

patthar jaisi sakht hawa ke
surkh dhamake dekhe hain

raat ki mutwarrim ghadiyon mein
zard makanon ke sehnon mein

lahu ko girte dekha hai
qatra qatra qatra

qatra qatra bante bante ek samundar
ek be-payan tapta surkh samundar

zard makanon ki rag rag mein
tapta surkh samundar

un galiyon ki budhi chhaal pe ifriton ke hamle
tapti zamin ke satwin talwe tak lahraati andhi chikhen

kitni hi zalim sadiyon se
andhi chikhen mere tapte jism ke jalte khaliyon

zard masamon ke darron mein bhatak rahi hain
chikhen mere jism ki ek ek rag mein yurish karti hain

nafrat ka tikha lashkara jism ko katta rahta hai
jis ke andar jism ke bahar

khun ka andha lawa bahta rahta hai
