kahin bhi chhidak do ye roti ke bij
ghulamon ki faslen ugate raho

ye wo fasl hai jis ko pani hua bhi nahin chahiye
ek faqat bhuk ki tez barish ka chhidkaw darkar hai [...]

gulnar dekhti hai ye mazdur aurten
chehron pe khak dhul ke ponchhe hue nishan

tu aur rang-e-ghaza-o-gulguna-o-shahab
socha bhi kis ke khun ki banti hain surkhiyan [...]

ki hoga har ek dushman-e-jaan ka sar kham

nahin hai nizam-e-halakat mein kuchh dam
zarurat hai insan ki amn-e-alam [...]

kaleja phunk raha hai aur zaban kahne se aari hai
bataun kya tumhein kya chiz ye sarmaya-dari hai

ye wo aandhi hai jis ki rau mein muflis ka nasheman hai
ye wo bijli hai jis ki zad mein har dahqan ka khirman hai [...]

malum nahin zehn ki parwaz ki zad mein
sarsabz umidon ka chaman hai ki nahin hai

lekin ye bata waqt ka bahta hua dhaara
tufan-gar o koh-shikan hai ki nahin hai [...]

kisan
daranti se fasl katte hain

aur mazdur
unhen taraazu mein tolte hain [...]
