chalna jara sambhal ke

yeh shehar hai zaalim bada, chalna jara sambhal ke,
milte hain log yahan, chehare badal-badal ke,

zindagi sasti hai bahut, maut ki sadkon par,
phirte hain kaatil yahan, iraadein liye katal ke,

mazloom loot-te hain yahan kanoon ke rakhwalon se,
khakhi wardion mein milte hain looterein chambal ke,

khoon se range hain haath safed-poshon ke to kya,
bichte hain dariche magar un kadmon par makhmal ke,

aabru ke shikariyon se sehma hua har aanchal hai,
sharmate hain in vehshiyon se, darinde bhi jungle ke,

khudgarz hua hai insaan tarakki ki andhi daud mein,
aage bardhte hain log yaha, ek duje ko kuchal ke.
