Jamhuriyat

das karoD insano!

zindagi se begano!

sirf chand logon ne

haq tumhaara chhina hai

KHak aise jine par

ye bhi koi jina hai

be-shuur bhi tum ko

be-shuur kahte hain

sochta hun ye nadan

kis hawa mein rahte hain

aur ye qasida-go

fikr hai yahi jin ko

hath mein alam le kar

tum na uTh sako logo

kab talak ye KHamoshi

chalte-phirte zindano

das karoD insano!

ye milen ye jagiren

kis ka KHun piti hain

barackon mein ye faujen

kis ke bal pe jiti hain

kis ki mehnaton ka phal

dashtaen khati hain

jhonpaDon se rone ki

kyun sadaen aati hain

jab shabab par aa kar

khet lahlahata hai

kis ke nain rote hain

kaun muskuraata hai

kash tum kabhi samjho

kash tum kabhi samjho

kash tum kabhi jaano

das karoD insano!

ilm-o-fan ke raste mein

laThiyon ki ye baDen

collegon ke laDkon par

goliyon ki bauchhaDen

ye kirae ke ghunDe

yaadgar-e-shab dekho

kis qadar bhayanak hai

zulm ka ye Dhab dekho

raqs-e-atish-o-ahan

dekhte hi jaoge

dekhte hi jaoge

hosh mein na aaoge

hosh mein na aaoge

ai KHamosh tufano!

das karoD insano!

saikDon hasan nasir

hain shikar nafrat ke

subh-o-sham luTte hain

qafile mohabbat ke

jab se kale baghon ne

aadmi ko ghera hai

mishalen karo raushan

dur tak andhera hai

mere des ki dharti

pyar ko tarasti hai

pattharon ki barish hi

is pe kyun barasti hai

mulk ko bachao bhi

mulk ke nigahbano

das karoD insano!

bolne pe pabandi

sochne pe taziren

panw mein ghulami ki

aaj bhi hain zanjiren

aaj harf-e-aKHir hai

baat chand logon ki

din hai chand logon ka

raat chand logon ki

uTh ke dard-mandon ke

subh-o-sham badlo bhi

jis mein tum nahin shamil

wo nizam badlo bhi

doston ko pahchano

dushmanon ko pahchano

das karoD insano!
