ham jeevan ke mahaakaavy hain
keval chhand prasang naheen hain.
kankaḌ-patthar kee dharatee hai
apane to paa(n)von ke neeche
ham kab kahate bandhu! bichhaao
svaagat men makhamalee galeeche
retee par jo chitr banaatee
aisee rang-tarang naheen hai.
tumako raas naheen aa paayee
kyon ajaatashatrutaa hamaaree
chhip-chhipakar jo karate rahate
sheetayuddh kee tum taiyaaree
ham bhaaḌe ke sainik lekar
laḌate koee jang naheen hain.
kahate-kahate hamen maseehaa
tum laTakaa dete saleeb par
hansen tumhaaree kooTaneeti par
kuḌhen yaa ki apane naseeb par
bheetar-bheetar se jo pole
ham ve Dhol-mRdang naheen hai.
tum saamuhik bahiShkaar kee
mitr! bhale yojanaa banaao
jahaa(n)-jahaa(n) par likhaa huaa hai
naam hamaaraa, use miTaao
jisakee Dor haath tumhaare
ham vah kaTee patang naheen hai.
