le ke be-shak hath mein KHanjar chalo
le ke be-shak haath meñ ḳhanjar chalo
oḌh kar iḳhlās kī chādar chalo
koī chingārī na ho is Dher meñ
soch kar in ḳhushk pattoñ par chalo
hādse bāhar khaḌe haiñ ghaat meñ
phir palaT kar ḳhol ke andar chalo
toḌ kar is ḳhāk-dāñ kī sarhadeñ
bādaloñ kī ThanDī saḌkoñ par chalo
fan kī ḳhidmat roTiyāñ detī nahīñ
fan kī ḳhidmat chhoḌ kar daftar chalo
maiñ bhī huuñ patthar banā do aadmī
mujh ko bhī chhūte hue 'raghubar' chalo
zindagī be-dāġh bhī achchhī nahīñ
tohmateñ kuchh zindagī par dhar chalo
ho gayā ruḳhsat gale mil kar koī
tum bhī rakh kar dil par ab patthar chalo
shahr kī miTTī pukāre hai 'shabāb'
ho chukā ban-bās puurā ghar chalo
le ke be-shak hath mein KHanjar chalo
oDh kar iKHlas ki chadar chalo
koi chingari na ho is Dher mein
soch kar in KHushk patton par chalo
hadse bahar khaDe hain ghat mein
phir palaT kar KHol ke andar chalo
toD kar is KHak-dan ki sarhaden
baadalon ki ThanDi saDkon par chalo
fan ki KHidmat roTiyan deti nahin
fan ki KHidmat chhoD kar daftar chalo
main bhi hun patthar bana do aadmi
mujh ko bhi chhute hue 'raghubar' chalo
zindagi be-dagh bhi achchhi nahin
tohmaten kuchh zindagi par dhar chalo
ho gaya ruKHsat gale mil kar koi
tum bhi rakh kar dil par ab patthar chalo
shahr ki miTTi pukare hai 'shabab'
ho chuka ban-bas pura ghar chalo
