chal nahin sakti
siyāsat meñ kabhī firqa-parastī chal nahīñ saktī
huā sūrāḳh peñde meñ to kashtī chal nahīñ saktī
hamāre biich haiñ ab dushman-e-insāniyat itne
zamīñ par ab falak kī chīra-dastī chal nahīñ saktī
pareshānī bad-amnī aur mahñgā.ī kī hālat meñ
hukūmat chal to saktī hai grihastī chal nahīñ saktī
baḌhā.ūñ daam apne kyoñ na maiñ aisī girānī meñ
chalan jab hai ki koī chiiz sastī chal nahīñ saktī
kahā netā ne bhūk-haḌtāl kar ke dūsre hī din
ab is se aage merī fāqa-mastī chal nahīñ saktī
nasha ab kyā chaḌhe saaqī ne jab ye kah diyā muñh par
yahāñ had se ziyāda bāda-mastī chal nahīñ saktī
ye sun lo 'ḳhvāh-maḳhvāh' jab saaTh se ho jāoge uupar
mohabbat chal bhī jaa.e tandurustī chal nahīñ saktī
siyasat mein kabhi firqa-parasti chal nahin sakti
hua suraKH pende mein to kashti chal nahin sakti
hamare bich hain ab dushman-e-insaniyat itne
zamin par ab falak ki chira-dasti chal nahin sakti
pareshani bad-amni aur mahngai ki haalat mein
hukumat chal to sakti hai grihasti chal nahin sakti
baDhaun dam apne kyon na main aisi girani mein
chalan jab hai ki koi chiz sasti chal nahin sakti
kaha neta ne bhuk-haDtal kar ke dusre hi din
ab is se aage meri faqa-masti chal nahin sakti
nasha ab kya chaDhe saqi ne jab ye kah diya munh par
yahan had se ziyaada baada-masti chal nahin sakti
ye sun lo 'KHwah-maKHwah' jab saTh se ho jaoge upar
mohabbat chal bhi jae tandurusti chal nahin sakti
