har ek daur mein har zamane mein hum
zahr pite rahe, git gate rahe

jaan dete rahe zindagi ke liye
saat-e-wasl ki sarkhushi ke liye

din o duniya ki daulat lutate rahe
faqr-o-faqa ka tosha sambhaale hue

jo bhi rasta chuna us pe chalte rahe
mal wale haqarat se takte rahe

tan karte rahe hath malte rahe
hum ne un par kiya harf-e-haq sang-zan

jin ki haibat se duniya larazti rahi
jin pe aansu bahane ko koi na tha

apni aankh un ke gham mein barasti rahi
sab se ojhal hue hukm-e-hakim pe hum

qaid-khane sahe, taziyane sahe
log sunte rahe saz-e-dil ki sada

apne naghme salakhon se chhante rahe
khun-chakan dahr ka khun-chakan aaina

dukh-bhari khalq ka dukh-bhara dil hain hum
taba-e-shaer hai jangah-e-adl-o-sitam

munsif-e-khair-o-shar haqq-o-baatil hain hum
