Das karod insaano!Zindagi se begaano!

Sirf chand logon neHaq tumhara chheena hai

Khaak aise jeene parYeh bhi koi jeena hai

Be-shaoor bhi tum koBe-shaoor kehte hain

Sochta hoon yeh nadaanKis hawa mein rehte hain

Aur yeh qaseeda goFikr hai yehi jin ko

Haath mein ilm le karTum na uth sako logo

Kab talak yeh khamoshiChalte phirte zindano!

Das karod insaano!Yeh millein yeh jaageerein

Kis ka khoon peeti hainBarracks mein yeh fauji

Kis ke bal pe jeeti hainKis ki mehnaton ka phal

Daashtayein khaati hainJhompdon se rone ki

Kyun sadaayein aati hainJab shabaab par aa kar

Khet lehlahaata haiKis ke nain rote hain

Kaun muskuraata haiKaash tum kabhi samjho

Kaash tum kabhi samjhoKaash tum kabhi jaano

Das karod insaano!Ilm-o-fan ke raste mein

Laathiyon ki yeh baadeinColleges ke ladkon par

Goliyon ki bochhaareinYeh kiraaye ke gunde

Yaadgaar-e-shab dekhoKis qadar bhayanak hai

Zulm ka yeh dhab dekhoRaqs-e-aatish-o-aahan

Dekhte hi jaogeDekhte hi jaoge

Hosh mein na aaogeHosh mein na aaoge

Ae khamosh toofano!Das karod insaano!

Sainkdon Hasan NasirHain shikaar nafrat ke

Subah-o-shaam lutte hainQaafle muhabbat ke

Jab se kaale baagon neAadmi ko ghera hai

Mash'alein karo roshanDoor tak andhera hai

Mere des ki dhartiPyaar ko tarasti hai

Pattharon ki baarish hiIs pe kyun barasti hai

Mulk ko bachao bhiMulk ke nigehbaano

Das karod insaano!Bolne pe pabandi

Sochne pe ta'zeereinPaaon mein ghulami ki

Aaj bhi hain zanjeereinAaj harf-e-aakhir hai

Baat chand logon kiDin hai chand logon ka

Raat chand logon kiUth ke dardmanddon ke

Subah-o-shaam badlo bhiJis mein tum nahin shaamil

Woh nizaam badlo bhiDoston ko pehchaano

Dushmanon ko pehchaanoDas karod insaano!
