hamare idrak ki sadaqat
tumhaare ilzam ki najabat

kabhi to tarikh ki adalat mein pesh hogi
halaf uthane ki rasm se be-niyaz lamhe

tamam mafluj adl-gahon ki maslahat-kesh-be-zabani
lahu-faroshi ke kul dalael

dafatir-e-munsifi par tahrir kar rahe hain
kabhi to tarikh ki adalat mein

tum bhi aaoge
hum bhi aaenge

tum apne sare halif lana
qasida-khwanon ka majma-e-be-zamir lana

khamida-sar maslahat-pasandi ke zahr-alud tir lana
tum apni mangi hui shikasta si tegh lana

salib lana
aziyyaton ke nisab lana

har ek maqtal mein dafn shoalon ki rakh lana
har ek pusht-e-bashar pe tahrir wahshaton ki lakir lana

kabhi to tarikh ki adalat mein
tum bhi aaoge hum bhi aaenge

hum apne hamrah zinda lafzon ke phul le kar
har ek daman ki dhajjiyon ki dhanak mein

poshida zindagi ke usul le kar
hazar-ha sar-kashida kirnon ka nur le kar

tamam bahnon ke aanchalon ka waqar le kar
tamam maon ki loriyon ka mazar le kar

yatim palkon ki shabnami aarzuon ka soz le kar
hum apni un betiyon ki mangon ka husn le kar

ki jin ki sindur ko khurach kar
tum aaj barud ki surangen bichha rahe ho

hum apni dharti ke zarre zarre mein
shoala-afshan jalal le kar

zarur aaenge
jald aaenge

wo daur ab dur to nahin hai
ki waqt jab munsifi karega

kabhi to tarikh ki adalat mein
tum bhi aaoge

hum bhi aaenge
