rahane ko ghar nahi sone ko bistar nahi
apana kuda hai rakhavaala
ab tak usi ne hai paala
apani to zindagi katati hai footapaath pe
oonche oonche ye mahal apane hain kis kaam ke
hamko to maan baap ke jaisi lagati hai sadak
koi bhi apana nahi rishte hain bas naam ke
apane jo saath hai ye andheri raat hai
apana nahi hai ujaala
ab tak usi ne hai
ham jo mazadoor hain har gam se door hain
mehanat ki rotiyaan mil-jul ke khaate hain
ham kabhi neend ki goliyaan lete nahi
rakh ke patthar pe sar thak ke so jaate hain
toofaan se jab ghire raahon mein jab gire
hamko usi ne sambhaala
ab tak usi ne hai.
ye kaisa mulq hai ye kaisi reet hai
yaad karate hain hamein log kyon marane ke baad
andhe baharon ki basti chaaron taraf andhere
sab ke sab laachaar hain kaun sune kisaki fariyaad
aise mein jeena hai hamako to peena hai
jeevan zahar ka hai pyaala
ab tak usi ne hai.
