raat ko din kaha nahin jata
raat ko din kahā nahīñ jaatā
yuuñ to suulī chaḌhā nahīñ jaatā
log to chup haiñ zulm sah kar bhī
mujh se kyoñ chup rahā nahīñ jaatā
aaj to shahr meñ hai sannāTā
kal ho kyā kuchh kahā nahīñ jaatā
dhuup sar pe ho aur sahrā ho
paañv nañge chalā nahīñ jaatā
jaan har pal rahe hathelī par
is tarah to jiyā nahīñ jaatā
baḌh gayā kyā bisāt se us kī
dil se ġham kyoñ sahā nahīñ jaatā
jis ko milnā hai ḳhaak meñ 'mas.ūd'
us ke aage jhukā nahīñ jaatā
raat ko din kaha nahin jata
yun to suli chaDha nahin jata
log to chup hain zulm sah kar bhi
mujh se kyon chup raha nahin jata
aaj to shahr mein hai sannaTa
kal ho kya kuchh kaha nahin jata
dhup sar pe ho aur sahra ho
panw nange chala nahin jata
jaan har pal rahe hatheli par
is tarah to jiya nahin jata
baDh gaya kya bisat se us ki
dil se gham kyon saha nahin jata
jis ko milna hai KHak mein 'masud'
us ke aage jhuka nahin jata
