har nai ijad ki kal tak hamin buniyaad the

har na.ī ījād kī kal tak hamīñ buniyād the

log lohā bhī na the jis vaqt ham faulād the

aaj hī tai kījiye kal kyā kaheñge qaum ko

ham abhī āzād haiñ yā ham kabhī āzād the

jhar chuke patte havā se kah rahe haiñ ġham nahīñ

vo jaḌeñ zinda haiñ ab bhī jin se ham ābād the

kaun suntā ajnabī kī ajnabī bhāshā meñ baat

shor ke darbār meñ ham maun ke samvād the

har nai ijad ki kal tak hamin buniyaad the

log loha bhi na the jis waqt hum faulad the

aaj hi tai kijiye kal kya kahenge qaum ko

hum abhi aazad hain ya hum kabhi aazad the

jhar chuke patte hawa se kah rahe hain gham nahin

wo jaDen zinda hain ab bhi jin se hum aabaad the

kaun sunta ajnabi ki ajnabi bhasha mein baat

shor ke darbar mein hum maun ke samwad the
