bachche hain hum lal-o-gohar
kya hain hamari azmaten

hum ba-saliqa ba-hunar
mazur hum ko mat kaho

raushan hain manind-e-qamar
majbur hum ko mat kaho

har dam bulandi par nazar
khurshid hum mahtab hum

mazur hum ko mat kaho
shaista-e-adab hum

majbur hum ko mat kaho
khidmat ka raushan bab hum

sada zaban shirin-sukhan
andar se hain shadab hum

hum hain umidon ki kiran
mazur hum ko mat kaho

hum phul hum jaan-e-chaman
majbur hum ko mat kaho

hum zindagi ka bankpan
hum aasman par chhaenge

mazur hum ko mat kaho
hum raushni phailaenge

majbur hum ko mat kaho
aur kahkashan ban jaenge

jis din hamari mehnaten
duniya mein izzat paengi

us din khulengi qismaten
mazur hum ko mat kaho

dengi jahan ko neamaten
majbur hum ko mat kaho
