dil ki aag kahan le jate jalti bujhti chhoD chale
dil kī aag kahāñ le jaate jaltī bujhtī chhoḌ chale
banjāroñ se Darne vaalo lo ham apnī bastī chhoḌ chale
aage aage chīḳh rahā hai sahrā kā ik zard safar
dariyā jaane sāhil jaane ham to kashtī chhoḌ chale
miTTī ke ambār ke nīche Duub gayā mustaqbil bhī
dīvāroñ ne dekhā hogā bachche taḳhtī chhoḌ chale
duniyā rakkhe chāhe pheñke ye hai paḌī zambīl-e-suḳhan
ham ne jitnī pūñjī joḌī rattī rattī chhoḌ chale
saarī umr gañvā dī 'qaisar' do gaz miTTī haath lagī
kitnī mahñgī chiiz thī duniyā kitnī sastī chhoḌ chale
dil ki aag kahan le jate jalti bujhti chhoD chale
banjaron se Darne walo lo hum apni basti chhoD chale
aage aage chiKH raha hai sahra ka ek zard safar
dariya jaane sahil jaane hum to kashti chhoD chale
miTTi ke ambar ke niche Dub gaya mustaqbil bhi
diwaron ne dekha hoga bachche taKHti chhoD chale
duniya rakkhe chahe phenke ye hai paDi zambil-e-suKHan
hum ne jitni punji joDi ratti ratti chhoD chale
sari umr ganwa di 'qaisar' do gaz miTTi hath lagi
kitni mahngi chiz thi duniya kitni sasti chhoD chale
