kuchh intizar aur karo sabr-e-nagawar aur karo
kuchh apne saron ko qalam gareban ko chaak aur karo

apne andar ki garmi-e-khun sambhaal kar rakkho
andheron mein sakht pahron mein zara ye jaur aur saho

faza palatne mein jaur thamne mein waqt hai shayad
subh hone mein waqt hai ya sirf aisa lagta hai

dard sine mein uth uth ke nakaamiyon ko rota hai
sans barf ban kar ke dhamniyon mein bahti hai

apni qismat pe haalat pe dam nikalta hai
wo ghadi hai ki aao sochen ki kyun hua aisa

ye bhi mumkin hai ki faza palat na sake
subh jo hoti dikhti hai kabhi bhi ho na sake

hamari maut se pahle hamari surat badal na sake
hina jo pattharon pe khilti thi khil na sake

agar ye yun hai to kya us ki zimmedari apni hai
hum dewta ka dano ka farq bhul chuke hain

kadi dawa ka mithe zahr ka farq bhul chuke hain
hum bhul chuke hain dagha ke muskuraate chehre ko

hum apni zat ke tahzib-o-sanskar bhul chuke hain
hamin jo hum nahin hain to ghairon se kya gila karna

utho ki khud ko pahchano apna hausla jodo
ye salakhen ye bediyan ye hathkadi todo

ye buzdili ye nakaamiyan ye nal chhodo
utho sab sath mil ke yalghaar chhedo

zamana dekhna tum ko phir se salam thokega
phir us ke ba'd subh khud-ba-khud tulua hogi

ye duniya tumhaare samne phir se nigun hogi
faza mein chaar su phir tairne lagegi khush-haali

aur nae sire se tarikh-e-hind phir shurua hogi
abhi bhi waqt hai utho kar-e-nau ki ibtida kar den
