bebasi ka azab
udas raston pe chalne walo

udasiyon ka safar muqaddar hai
tum ye raste badal bhi lo to nishan-e-manzil

tumhaari aankhon ki tirgi mein
lipat ke be-nam ho rahega

ye shahr ye bastiyan ye qarye
bas ek be-nam khauf ki zad mein aa gae hain

tumhaari aankhon mein
kin khizaon ki zard viraniyan basi hain

tumhaare honton pe zahr-e-be-rang ki tahen kis liye jami hain
tumhaare chehron ka khak sa rang

kaun se dard ka asar hai
udas raston pe chalne walo

agar ummidon ke ped patjhad ki zad mein hain
to unhen jadon se ukhad phenko

tumhaari aankhon mein zard viraniyan basi hain
to apni aankhon nikal dalo

tumhaare shahron mein khauf aaseb ban gaya hai
to sab makanon ko rakh kar do

magar kabhi yun na ho sakega
ki jo banane ki aarzu mein bigadte hain

wo hath hi bebasi ke pinjre mein band hain
un udas raston pe chalne walo

mujhe bhi hamrah le ke chalna
ki main akela kahan rahunga
