Yeh ghadi sanam tere bina katti nahi ... tere chehre se meri nazar hatti nahi

Rehmat-e-khuda ki jis par ho barasti ... uski kya mitta sakega koi hasti

Pagal premi ko yaad karna teri bhool hogi ... uske aane ki umeed phisool hogi

Aap kare aaram hum kare vishram ... aam ke aam guthliyon ke daam

Kya khoob pehghaam aapne hai pesh kiya ... hatheli ka hai mail daulat, kya liya aur kya diya

South Indian se south Indian mile, kar kar lambe haath ... mera band baja diya, patang de di kisi aur ke haath

Chale the zamaane se mooh pherkar ... yaka-yak tera saamna ho gaya

Woh mooch hi kya jisse phera na jaye ... aur woh husn hi kya jisse cheda na jaye

Na umeed hai, na sharaab hai ... soorat-e-haal kaafi kharab hai

Anyay joh kare aur anyay joh sahe ... tumhari grihna usse ghaas ki tarah tahe

Kaun kehta hai ki main nahi chakhi, kaun jhoothi kasam khata hai ... mehkade se joh bach nikalta hai, teri aankhon mein doob jaata hai

Unke dekhe se joh aati hai chehre pe raunak ... woh samajhte hai beemar ka haal achcha hai

Beta rayees ka magar jangju bhi hai ... daulat ke saath saath, ladai ki khubhi bhi hai

Badalkar fakeeron ka hum bhes Ghalib ... ahle-e-tamasha ke dekhte hain karam

Laayi hayaat aaye, qazaa le chali chale ... apni khushi na aaye, na apni khushi chale

Badle badle mere sarkar nazar aate hai ... aur mujhko barbaadi ke aasaar nazar aate hai

Zulm ki tahani kabhi phalti nahi ... nav kagaz ki sada chalti nahi
