desh-bhakti be-asar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
desh-bhaktī be-asar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
haiñ dharam ke naam par aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
dil pighalte hī nahīñ mazlūm kī fariyād par
sab haiñ patthar ke jigar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
kaaT dījegā kitāb-e-zindagī se merā naam
joḌ denā phir safar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
aa ga.e hai āñdhiyoñ kī zad pe kyā barg-o-shajar
haiñ parinde shāḳh par aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
chāñd dekhā manchaloñ ne jis ghaḌī hai baam par
chaḌh ga.e dīvār par aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
hādisa koī na koī pesh aaya hai zarūr
saf-ba-saf haiñ sab bashar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
qatl-o-ḳhūñ jamhūriyat kā har taraf hai āj-kal
haiñ vafā ke naam par aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
sahn se dīvār mil kar ab girānī hai hameñ
ḳhush nahīñ lagte pisar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
sarparastī ahl-e-dānish kī agar hāsil rahī
jhuk nahīñ sakte haiñ sar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
gardishoñ se khelnā hai kaam merā ab 'shubham'
laakh ho ḳhauf-o-ḳhatar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
desh-bhakti be-asar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
hain dharam ke nam par aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
dil pighalte hi nahin mazlum ki fariyaad par
sab hain patthar ke jigar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
kaT dijega kitab-e-zindagi se mera nam
joD dena phir safar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
aa gae hai aandhiyon ki zad pe kya barg-o-shajar
hain parinde shaKH par aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
chand dekha manchalon ne jis ghaDi hai baam par
chaDh gae diwar par aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
hadisa koi na koi pesh aaya hai zarur
saf-ba-saf hain sab bashar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
qatl-o-KHun jamhuriyat ka har taraf hai aaj-kal
hain wafa ke nam par aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
sahn se diwar mil kar ab girani hai hamein
KHush nahin lagte pisar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
sarparasti ahl-e-danish ki agar hasil rahi
jhuk nahin sakte hain sar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
gardishon se khelna hai kaam mera ab 'shubham'
lakh ho KHauf-o-KHatar aadhe idhar aadhe udhar
