Bheed ki is safar mein,
Dhundli si khwaishein hain
Anjaan raaste, ajnabi galliyon mein
Aage jo badh rahe hum,
To har kadam par pukarti
Kitni hi yaadein hain...
Theherte, sisakte, kaanpte mere ye kadam,
Phir bhi chal rahe
Shaam ki taraf,
Kisi sahar ki talash mein.
Isi ummeed mein ki kabhi to,
Guzregi chandni mere bhi khidkiyon se,
Ki kabhi to shab bhi sahar ban jayegi,
Ki kabhi to tootega ye khwaishon ka bojh,
Aur yaadein saari kahin dafan ho jayengi.
Hasratein, arzuon aur khwaishon ki galliyon mein
Kabhi to sukoon ka ek ghar hoga,
Baramde par bicchi chandni hogi
Na kal hoga na kal ki baatein hongi
Bas jo guzar raha pal, usi ki yaadein hongi.-
Zindagi gulaam hai khwaishon ki
Aur qaid hum hain
Dafan jo khwab ho jaye
To phir azad hum ho-
Of lost dreams and died hopes,
Of dark nights and sunken eyes,
Of a lonely soul on a lost road,
I tell you a fable,
Of eyes that cried and kept quiet,
Of heart that beat and yet died,
Of dreams and hopes kept aside,
A life that was lived without life.

If the right is questioned and the wrong is celebrated,
If a pool of blood needs to be proved it's red,
If you feel the least sanity is also dead,
And barbarism is all that's left,
Then my friend, you are in India!
Where peace is condemned and violence is fuelled,
Where roses are held and guns are spared,
Where every day you wake up to news
That causes you pain and brings you tear,
Where every moment you live in fear,
Then my friend, you are in India!
If you see protectors being spectators,
And patriots called as traitors,
Then keep no doubt, you are in the new India!
Where the blood is flowing and the sun has set..
Welcome to the bloodied India!
Welcome to the end of India!-
How long can you hold yesterday?
A moment more maybe..
How long can you escape tomorrow?
A moment less maybe..
And how long before this moment escapes your hold?
This moment only.
This moment is all you have.
One last time, and forever.-
Itni hi koshish ki tumne dabane ki,
Ki shukriya, wo jo ek darr tha
Wo bhi ab khtm ho chuka.
Inqalabi lahu dekho sare maidaan daud rahi,
Haarne ke liye kuch raha nahi,
Jeetoge bhi to ab tum kis par.
