Mera juta hai japaani ye patalun inglistaani
Sar pe laal topi rusi fir bhi dil hai hindustaani
Nikal pade hain khulli sadk par apana sina taane
Mnjil kahaan, kahaan rukana hai, uparawaala jaane
Badhte jaaen ham sailaani, jaise ek dariya tufaani
Upar-niche, niche-upar lahar chale jiwan ki
Naadaan hai jo baithh kinaare, puchhe raah watan ki
Chalana jiwan ki kahaani, rukana maut ki nishaani
Honge raaje raajakunwar, ham bigade dil shahajaade
Ham singhaasan par ja baithhen jab jab karen iraade
Surat hai jaani pahachaani duniyaawaalon ko hairaani
