hath milane ki rasm
tab ijad hui

jab hathiyar phenkna
sikha ja chuka tha

aur baghlon mein chhuriyan
aam hone lagi thin

zindagiyon mein badlaw aaya
japaniyon ne dur se jhuk kar salam kahna sikha

dushman aur dost se munasib fasla
hamesha banae rakkha

atomi taqat se tabah kiye gae
zindagiyon mein badlaw aaya

ahal-e-faras ne chuhe se
taun ka talluq pahchana

nash ko kat kar aaza ka naqsha banaya
pahli jarrahi ki

aur murdon ki be-hurmati ki padash mein
bu-ali-sina ko saza di

zindagiyon mein badlaw aaya
francisiyon ne chaalis din ka quarantine ijad kiya

bandar-gahon par bimariyon ka wisa cancel hua
sehat-mand insanon ko wisa milne laga

zindagiyon mein badlaw aaya
yahud ki mandi mein

sone ke sikke insanon se kam pad gae
kaghaz ka note ijad hua

aur phir sab adyan ki
e'tibar ki aayat ko

noton par likh diya gaya
zindagiyon mein badlao aaya

agle nae badlao ke liye
stage tayyar karne mein

waba ki madad karo
