rab kare ke aaj se
aaj phir na ho, na ho kabhi
dua karo ke aaj se
aaj phir na ho, na ho kabhi

nahi mila hai koi jo
dekh ke laga apna kabhi
nahi jama, nahi jacha
na kabhi mijaj ha ho kabhi
shauhrate dekhi aisi, sabka maila chehra
muskurahate ye kaisi jin pe baandha pahra
matlab ki yaari dekhi, imaa bikte dekha
padh liya ab ke humne, sabka lekha jekha

sach kahe to aaj se
aaj phir na ho, na ho kabhi
rab kare ke aaj se
aaj phir na ho, na ho kabhi
aisi siyasat dekhi, aangan dhahte dekha
waahiyat aadat dekhi, maatam bantte dekha
rasme bimari dekhi, sabne socha jara
lailaaj aadat dekhi, haakim bhi bebasa

kaisi ye kharonch hai, sab me hi dosh hai
badlega sab yaha, agar nayi soch hai
kab tak malal me jeena, marna
man ke kamre saaf kar le
shikwe haal me jeena, marna
aisi sari shame laal hai
kisne lakire khinchi, sab me hissa dekha
dil ki likhawat dekhi, dil ka kissa dekha
ruh se man ghayal, murde jite dekha
rab jaha aankhe kholi, sabko darte dekha
