    sāthiyo! maiñ ne barsoñ tumhāre liye

    chāñd tāroñ bahāroñ ke sapne bune

    husn aur ishq ke giit gaatā rahā

    ārzūoñ ke aivāñ sajātā rahā

    maiñ tumhārā muġhannī tumhāre liye

    jab bhī aayā na.e giit laatā rahā

    aaj lekin mire dāman-e-chāk meñ

    gard-e-rāh-e-safar ke sivā kuchh nahīñ

    mere barbat ke siine meñ naġhmoñ dam ghuT gayā

    tāneñ chīḳhoñ ke ambār meñ dab ga.ī haiñ

    aur gītoñ ke sur hichkiyāñ ban ga.e haiñ

    maiñ tumhārā muġhannī huuñ naġhma nahīñ huuñ

    aur naġhme taḳhlīq sāz-o-sāmāñ

    sāthiyo! aaj tum ne bhasm kar diyā hai

    aur maiñ apnā TuuTā huā saaz thāme

    sard lāshoñ ke ambār ko tak rahā huuñ

    mere chāroñ taraf maut vahshateñ nāchtī haiñ

    aur insāñ haivāniyat jaag uThī hai

    barbariyat ke ḳhūñ-ḳhār ifrīt

    apne nāpāk jabḌoñ ko khole

    ḳhuun ke ġhurrā rahe haiñ

    bachche maaoñ godoñ meñ sahme hue haiñ

    ismateñ sar-barahana pareshān haiñ

    har taraf shor-e-āh-o-bukā hai

    aur maiñ is tabāhī ke tūfān meñ

    aag aur ḳhuuñ ke haijān meñ

    sar-nigūñ aur shikasta makānoñ ke malbe se pur rāstoñ par

    apne naġhmoñ jholī pasāre

    dar-ba-dar phir rahā huuñ

    mujh ko amn aur tahzīb bhiik do

    mere gītoñ lai merā sur merī nai

    mere majrūh hoñToñ ko phir sauñp do

    sāthiyo! maiñ ne barsoñ tumhāre liye

    inqalāb aur baġhāvat ke naġhme alāpe

    ajnabī raaj ke zulm chhāñv meñ

    sarfaroshī ke ḳhvābīda jazbe ubhāre

    aur us sub.h raah dekhī

    jis meñ is mulk ruuh āzād ho

    aaj zanjīr-e-mahkūmiyat kaT chukī hai

    aur is mulk ke bahr-o-bar bām-o-dar

    ajnabī qaum ke zulmat-afshāñ pharere manhūs chhāñv se āzād haiñ

    khet sonā ugalne ko bechain haiñ

    vādiyāñ lahlahāne ko betāb haiñ

    kohsāroñ ke siine meñ haijān hai

    sañg aur ḳhisht be-ḳhvāb va bedār haiñ

    un ā.ankhoñ meñ ta.amīr ke ḳhvāb haiñ

    un ke ḳhvāboñ ko takmīl ruup do

    mulk vādiyāñ ghāTiyāñ khetiyāñ

    aurteñ bachchiyāñ

    haath phailā.e ḳhairāt muntazir haiñ

    in ko amn aur tahzīb bhiik do

    maaoñ ko un ke hoñToñ shādābiyāñ

    nanhe bachchoñ ko un ḳhushī baḳhsh do

    mulk ruuh ko zindagī baḳhsh do

    mujh ko merā hunar merī lai baḳhsh do

    aaj saarī fazā hai bhikārī

    aur maiñ is bhikārī fazā meñ

    apne naġhmoñ jholī pasāre

    dar-ba-dar phir rahā huuñ

    mujh ko phir merā khoyā huā saaz do

    maiñ tumhārā muġhannī tumhāre liye

    jab bhī aayā na.e giit laatā rahūñgā

    sathiyo! main ne barson tumhaare liye

    chand taron bahaaron ke sapne bune

    husn aur ishq ke git gata raha

    aarzuon ke aiwan sajata raha

    main tumhaara mughanni tumhaare liye

    jab bhi aaya nae git lata raha

    aaj lekin mere daman-e-chaak mein

    gard-e-rah-e-safar ke siwa kuchh nahin

    mere barbat ke sine mein naghmon ka dam ghuT gaya

    tanen chiKHon ke ambar mein dab gai hain

    aur giton ke sur hichkiyan ban gae hain

    main tumhaara mughanni hun naghma nahin hun

    aur naghme ki taKHliq ka saz-o-saman

    sathiyo! aaj tum ne bhasm kar diya hai

    aur main apna TuTa hua saz thame

    sard lashon ke ambar ko tak raha hun

    mere chaaron taraf maut ki wahshaten nachti hain

    aur insan ki haiwaniyat jag uThi hai

    barbariyat ke KHun-KHar ifrit

    apne napak jabDon ko khole

    KHun pi pi ke ghurra rahe hain

    bachche maon ki godon mein sahme hue hain

    ismaten sar-barahana pareshan hain

    har taraf shor-e-ah-o-buka hai

    aur main is tabahi ke tufan mein

    aag aur KHun ke haijaan mein

    sar-nigun aur shikasta makanon ke malbe se pur raston par

    apne naghmon ki jholi pasare

    dar-ba-dar phir raha hun

    mujh ko amn aur tahzib ki bhik do

    mere giton ki lai mera sur meri nai

    mere majruh honTon ko phir saunp do

    sathiyo! main ne barson tumhaare liye

    inqalab aur baghawat ke naghme alape

    ajnabi raj ke zulm ki chhanw mein

    sarfaroshi ke KHwabida jazbe ubhaare

    aur us subh ki rah dekhi

    jis mein is mulk ki ruh aazad ho

    aaj zanjir-e-mahkumiyat kaT chuki hai

    aur is mulk ke bahr-o-bar baam-o-dar

    ajnabi qaum ke zulmat-afshan pharere ki manhus chhanw se aazad hain

    khet sona ugalne ko bechain hain

    wadiyan lahlahane ko betab hain

    kohsaron ke sine mein haijaan hai

    sang aur KHisht be-KHwab wa bedar hain

    un ki aaankhon mein tamir ke KHwab hain

    un ke KHwabon ko takmil ka rup do

    mulk ki wadiyan ghaTiyan khetiyan

    aurten bachchiyan

    hath phailae KHairaat ki muntazir hain

    in ko amn aur tahzib ki bhik do

    maon ko un ke honTon ki shadabiyan

    nanhe bachchon ko un ki KHushi baKHsh do

    mulk ki ruh ko zindagi baKHsh do

    mujh ko mera hunar meri lai baKHsh do

    aaj sari faza hai bhikari

    aur main is bhikari faza mein

    apne naghmon ki jholi pasare

    dar-ba-dar phir raha hun

    mujh ko phir mera khoya hua saz do

    main tumhaara mughanni tumhaare liye

    jab bhi aaya nae git lata rahunga
