Wo sahilo'n pe gane wale kya hue,
wo kashtiya'n jalane wale kya hue,

wo subah aate aate rah gai kaha'n,
jo qafile the aane wale kya hue,

mai'n jin ki rah dekhta hu'n rat bhar,
wo raushani dikhane wale kya hue,

ye kaun log hain mere idhar udhar,
wo dosti nibhane wale kya hue,

imarate'n to jal ke rakh ho gai'n,
imarate'n banane wale kya hue,

ye aap ham to bojh hai'n zami'n ka,
zami'n ka bojh uthane wale kya .
