sarafaroshii kii tamannaa ab hamaare dil me.n hai 
dekhanaa hai zor kitanaa baazu-e-qaatil me.n hai 

vaqt aane de bataa de.nge tujhe ai aas_maa.N

o re bismil kaash aate aaj tum hindos_taa.N 
dekhate ki mulk saaraa yuu.N Tashan me.n thril me.n hai 

aaj kaa lauNDaa ye kahataa ham to bismil thak gaye 
apanii aazaadii to bhaiyaa lauNDiyaa ke til me.n hai 

aaj ke jalaso.n me.n bismil ek guu.Ngaa gaa rahaa 
aur baharo.n kaa vo relaa naachataa mahafil me.n hai 

haath kii khaadii banaane kaa zamaanaa lad gayaa 
aaj to chaDDii bhii silatii i.ngaliso.n kii mil me.n hai 

dekhanaa hai zor kitanaa baazu-e-qaatil me.n hai ...
