kab tak āñkheñ muuñd ke baiTheñ kab tak dhokā khā.eñge

kab tak desh luTegā yūñhī kab ham hosh meñ ā.eñge

ghuus dalālī kā sab paisa Daal bidesī bankoñ meñ

rishvat-ḳhor afsar aur netā kab tak ḳhair manāeñge

kab tak chaltā jā.egā ye number do kā kārobār

kab tak tax churāne vaale ūñche mahal banā.eñge

kab ġhurbat kī maarī jantā vote kī qīmat samjhegī

kab tak kaale dhan se yaaro vote ḳharīde jā.eñge

kab tak sansad meñ baiTheñge jin ko jail meñ jaanā thā

vo jo peshe se mujrim haiñ kyā qānūn banā.eñge

bhuuk ġharībī bekārī kā DhūñDhegā ab kaun 'ilāj

roz ghoTāle karne vaale kyā sarkār chalā.eñge

dushman ham ko rahe haiñ gher ham baiThe haiñ āñkheñ pher

āñkheñ band kar lene se kyā ḳhatre ḳhud Tal jā.eñge

dillī shahr pe raaj kareñge kab tak bhaḌve aur dalāl

dillī kī ye daldal kyā ham saaf kabhī kar pā.eñge

phir se kab sonā uglegī rishiyoñ kī ye paak zamīñ

bhārat ko sone kī chiḌiyā phir se kab kah pā.eñge

kab tak aankhen mund ke baiThen kab tak dhoka khaenge

kab tak desh luTega yunhi kab hum hosh mein aaenge

ghus dalali ka sab paisa Dal bidesi bankon mein

rishwat-KHor afsar aur neta kab tak KHair manaenge

kab tak chalta jaega ye number do ka karobar

kab tak tax churane wale unche mahal banaenge

kab ghurbat ki mari janta wote ki qimat samjhegi

kab tak kale dhan se yaro wote KHaride jaenge

kab tak sansad mein baiThenge jin ko jail mein jaana tha

wo jo peshe se mujrim hain kya qanun banaenge

bhuk gharibi bekari ka DhunDhega ab kaun 'ilaj

roz ghoTale karne wale kya sarkar chalaenge

dushman hum ko rahe hain gher hum baiThe hain aankhen pher

aankhen band kar lene se kya KHatre KHud Tal jaenge

dilli shahr pe raj karenge kab tak bhaDwe aur dalal

dilli ki ye daldal kya hum saf kabhi kar paenge

phir se kab sona uglegi rishiyon ki ye pak zamin

bhaarat ko sone ki chiDiya phir se kab kah paenge
