Aao dekhei.n zara kaisa lagta hai,
Jab ho be-aasmaa.n sar,
Na zamee.n paer taley,
Chal parey
Aao dekhei.n zara haath khaali kar
Fayede se, munaafey se,
Daayro.n se zehen ke,
Chal parey,
Chal parey!
Kisi kachhe raste par,
Nikal pakke aangan se parey
Bandisho.n ki ghutan se parey
Khud se, sab se parey
Dekh! Wo kaaynaat rakhhi tere liye!
Aao dhundhei.n zara wo maasumiyaa.n
Wo hasi be-buniyaad,
Wo basta kaandhe pe laad,
Chal parey
Aao lautei.n zara samajh na paane mei.n
Gaer ki, apne ki,
Duniya ki asliyat se,
Chal parey,
Chal parey!
Kisi kachhe raste par,
Nikal pakke aangan se parey
Bandisho.n ki ghutan se parey
Khud se, sab se parey
Dekh! Wo kaaynaat rakhhi tere liye!
Aao dekhei.n zara ye lutf kahaa.n hai?
Sone ki chamak mei.n hai kya?
Sikko.n ki khanak mei.n hai kya?
Phir bezaari hai kyu.n?
Ye dil bhaari hai kyu.n?
Ye aayine mei.n jo khada hai,
Ye kyu.n has pada?
