ek ladki thi kitni pyari
indara us ka nam

us ka bachpan nat-khat chanchal shor machata guzra
us ka azm qadam qadam par lawa bin ka biphra

ek ladki thi kitni pyari
indara us ka nam

us ke andar kitne tufanon ki rang bhari shakti thi
us ke andar manawta ki aag ubalti rahti thi

ek ladki thi kitni pyari
indara us ka nam

samraj se takrai thi jab us ki banar sena
sukh ke din bitin sab ke aazadi ho din raina

ek ladki thi kitni pyari
indara us ka nam

'gandhi' aur 'nehru' ki wirasat us beti ke nam aai
is mitti se tilak rachao jis dharti ke kaam i

ek ladki thi kitni pyari
indara us ka nam

bachcho karo parnam
