Jamhooriyat

Das karod insaano!
Zindagi se begaano!
Sirf chand logon ne
Haq tumhara chheena hai
Khaak aise jeene par
Yeh bhi koi jeena hai
Be-shaoor bhi tum ko
Be-shaoor kehte hain
Sochta hoon yeh nadaan
Kis hawa mein rehte hain
Aur yeh qaseeda go
Fikr hai yehi jin ko
Haath mein ilm le kar
Tum na uth sako logo
Kab talak yeh khamoshi
Chalte phirte zindano!
Das karod insaano!
Yeh millein yeh jaageerein
Kis ka khoon peeti hain
Barracks mein yeh fauji
Kis ke bal pe jeeti hain
Kis ki mehnaton ka phal
Daashtayein khaati hain
Jhompdon se rone ki
Kyun sadaayein aati hain
Jab shabaab par aa kar
Khet lehlahaata hai
Kis ke nain rote hain
Kaun muskuraata hai
Kaash tum kabhi samjho
Kaash tum kabhi samjho
Kaash tum kabhi jaano
Das karod insaano!
Ilm-o-fan ke raste mein
Laathiyon ki yeh baadein
Colleges ke ladkon par
Goliyon ki bochhaarein
Yeh kiraaye ke gunde
Yaadgaar-e-shab dekho
Kis qadar bhayanak hai
Zulm ka yeh dhab dekho
Raqs-e-aatish-o-aahan
Dekhte hi jaoge
Dekhte hi jaoge
Hosh mein na aaoge
Hosh mein na aaoge
Ae khamosh toofano!
Das karod insaano!
Sainkdon Hasan Nasir
Hain shikaar nafrat ke
Subah-o-shaam lutte hain
Qaafle muhabbat ke
Jab se kaale baagon ne
Aadmi ko ghera hai
Mash'alein karo roshan
Door tak andhera hai
Mere des ki dharti
Pyaar ko tarasti hai
Pattharon ki baarish hi
Is pe kyun barasti hai
Mulk ko bachao bhi
Mulk ke nigehbaano
Das karod insaano!
Bolne pe pabandi
Sochne pe ta'zeerein
Paaon mein ghulami ki
Aaj bhi hain zanjeerein
Aaj harf-e-aakhir hai
Baat chand logon ki
Din hai chand logon ka
Raat chand logon ki
Uth ke dardmanddon ke
Subah-o-shaam badlo bhi
Jis mein tum nahin shaamil
Woh nizaam badlo bhi
Doston ko pehchaano
Dushmanon ko pehchaano
Das karod insaano!
