Puri Azaadi Hai Yaha, Ek Aisa Zindaan Hai Yeh.
Khush Phir Bhi Woh Nehi, Kaisa Gulam Hai Yeh.
Kehta Hai Koi Bad-Akhtar, Koi Deta Hai Bad-Duah,
Be-Zar Bole Koi, Kuch Aisa Bad-Naam Hai Yeh.
Waqt-E-Ruskat Na Thi Daulat, Na Shohrat, Na Izzat.
Bikhri Yadein Samet Kar Gaya Woh, Kaisa Sar-O-Samaan Hai Yeh.
Bharte The Jis Ki Mahobbat Ka Dam,
Poochte Hai Woh Aaj Zamaane Se, Kiska Kalaam Hai Yeh
