lahu pukarta hai
lahū pukārtā hai
har taraf pukārtā hai
sahar ho, shaam ho, ḳhāmoshī ho ki hañgāma
julūs-e-ġham ho ki bazm-e-nashāt-ārā.ī
lahū pukārtā hai
lahū pukārtā hai jaise ḳhushk sahrā meñ
pukārā karte the paiġhambarān-e-isrā.īl
zamīñ ke siine se aur āstīn-e-qātil se
gulū-e-kushta se behis zabān-e-ḳhanjar se
sadā lapaktī hai har samt harf-e-haq kī tarah
magar vo kaan jo bahre haiñ sun nahīñ sakte
magar vo qalb jo sañgīñ haiñ hil nahīñ sakte
ki un meñ ahl-e-havas kī sadā kā siisa hai
vo jhukte rahte haiñ lab-hā-e-iqtidār kī samt
vo sunte rahte haiñ bas hukm-e-hākimān-e-jahāñ
tavāf karte haiñ arbāb-e-gīr-o-dār ke gird
magar lahū to hai be-bāk o sarkash o chālāk
ye sho.ala mai ke piyāle meñ jaag uThtā hai
libās-e-atlas-o-dībā meñ sarsarātā hai
ye dāmanoñ ko pakaḌtā hai shāh-rāhoñ meñ
khaḌā huā nazar aatā hai dād-gāhoñ meñ
zamīñ sameT na pā.egī us kī bāñhoñ meñ
chhalak rahe haiñ samundar sarak rahe haiñ pahāḌ
lahū pukār rahā hai lahū pukāregā
ye vo sadā hai jise qatl kar nahīñ sakte
lahu pukarta hai
har taraf pukarta hai
sahar ho, sham ho, KHamoshi ho ki hangama
julus-e-gham ho ki bazm-e-nashat-arai
lahu pukarta hai
lahu pukarta hai jaise KHushk sahra mein
pukara karte the paighambaran-e-israil
zamin ke sine se aur aastin-e-qatil se
gulu-e-kushta se behis zaban-e-KHanjar se
sada lapakti hai har samt harf-e-haq ki tarah
magar wo kan jo bahre hain sun nahin sakte
magar wo qalb jo sangin hain hil nahin sakte
ki un mein ahl-e-hawas ki sada ka sisa hai
wo jhukte rahte hain lab-ha-e-iqtidar ki samt
wo sunte rahte hain bas hukm-e-hakiman-e-jahan
tawaf karte hain arbab-e-gir-o-dar ke gird
magar lahu to hai be-bak o sarkash o chaalak
ye shoala mai ke piyale mein jag uThta hai
libas-e-atlas-o-diba mein sarsaraata hai
ye damanon ko pakaDta hai shah-rahon mein
khaDa hua nazar aata hai dad-gahon mein
zamin sameT na paegi us ki banhon mein
chhalak rahe hain samundar sarak rahe hain pahaD
lahu pukar raha hai lahu pukarega
ye wo sada hai jise qatl kar nahin sakte
