us raunat se wo jite hain ki marna hi nahin
us ra.ūnat se vo jiite haiñ ki marnā hī nahīñ
taḳht par baiThe haiñ yuuñ jaise utarnā hī nahīñ
yuuñ mah-o-anjum kī vaadī meñ uḌe phirte haiñ vo
ḳhaak ke zarroñ pe jaise paañv dharnā hī nahīñ
un kā da.avā hai ki sūraj bhī unhī kā hai ġhulām
shab jo ham par aa.ī hai us ko guzarnā hī nahīñ
kyā ilaaj us kā agar ho mudda.ā un kā yahī
ehtimām rañg-o-bū gulshan meñ karnā hī nahīñ
zulm se haiñ barsar-e-paikār āzādī-pasand
un pahāḌoñ meñ jahāñ par koī jharnā hī nahīñ
dil bhī un ke haiñ siyah ḳhūrāk-e-zindāñ kī tarah
un se apnā ġham bayāñ ab ham ko karnā hī nahīñ
intihā kar leñ sitam kī log abhī haiñ ḳhvāb meñ
jaag uTThe jab log to un ko Thaharnā hī nahīñ
us raunat se wo jite hain ki marna hi nahin
taKHt par baiThe hain yun jaise utarna hi nahin
yun mah-o-anjum ki wadi mein uDe phirte hain wo
KHak ke zarron pe jaise panw dharna hi nahin
un ka dawa hai ki suraj bhi unhi ka hai ghulam
shab jo hum par aai hai us ko guzarna hi nahin
kya ilaj us ka agar ho muddaa un ka yahi
ehtimam rang-o-bu gulshan mein karna hi nahin
zulm se hain barsar-e-paikar aazadi-pasand
un pahaDon mein jahan par koi jharna hi nahin
dil bhi un ke hain siyah KHurak-e-zindan ki tarah
un se apna gham bayan ab hum ko karna hi nahin
intiha kar len sitam ki log abhi hain KHwab mein
jag uTThe jab log to un ko Thaharna hi nahin
