haq baat pe marta hun to marne nahin dete
haq baat pe martā huuñ to marne nahīñ dete
ye ahl-e-jahāñ kuchh bhī to karne nahīñ dete
us paar kī bāteñ to bahut karte haiñ lekin
kashtī koī is paar utarne nahīñ dete
har jurm mire naam kiye jaate haiñ lekin
ḳhud par koī ilzām vo dharne nahīñ dete
hai fikr unheñ mar ke bhī maiñ zinda rahūñgā
ye soch ke zālim mujhe marne nahīñ dete
is dahr ke maqtal meñ bapā zulm hai aisā
mazlūm ko fariyād bhī karne nahīñ dete
manzil hai kaḌī aisī kaḌī bhī to nahīñ hai
vo rāh-numā haiñ ki guzarne nahīñ dete
'rājas' unheñ da.avā hai bahut chāragarī kā
riste hue zaḳhmoñ ko jo bharne nahīñ dete
haq baat pe marta hun to marne nahin dete
ye ahl-e-jahan kuchh bhi to karne nahin dete
us par ki baaten to bahut karte hain lekin
kashti koi is par utarne nahin dete
har jurm mere nam kiye jate hain lekin
KHud par koi ilzam wo dharne nahin dete
hai fikr unhen mar ke bhi main zinda rahunga
ye soch ke zalim mujhe marne nahin dete
is dahr ke maqtal mein bapa zulm hai aisa
mazlum ko fariyaad bhi karne nahin dete
manzil hai kaDi aisi kaDi bhi to nahin hai
wo rah-numa hain ki guzarne nahin dete
'rajas' unhen dawa hai bahut chaaragari ka
riste hue zaKHmon ko jo bharne nahin dete
