Jagmagahat hi jagmagahat hai,
Utar aye hain zameen pe chand sitaare;
Jashn hi jashn hai chaar soo,
Raqs karte aate hain leader humare.
Sarkar ko humari ab fursat nahi hai,
Roti ki humko ab zarurat nahi hai,
Khushi ke maare jaa.n jaa rahi hai,
Kisaano ko dekho, kya maut aa rahi hai.
Marne se pehle bas ek tamanna thi uski,
Jo puri hui bas wo ek tamanna thi uski,
Sarkar khudkushi ke naghme bajaye,
Rooh jis dum jism se nikal kar ke jaaye.
Sarkar ke dushman ye kehte phire hain,
Ajab hi ek bakwas kehte phire hain,
Daulat ki barbadi hai ye naach-gaana,
Pehle chahiye kisaan ka karz chukana.
Ye tareekh rahi hai, azal se humari,
Raja ke kisse hain aur uski kahani,
Kisano ko koi puchta kab kahaa.n hai,
Wahi.n thai hum pehle bhi, ke ab jahaa.n hain.
Ghareebo ki baat bhala kab humne ki hai,
Bhaghawat-i-nizamiya kab humne ki hai,
Sarkar ki baat hi to hum kar rahe hain,
Jo bhi hukm unka, wo raqam kar rahe hain.
Kitne badbakht-o-kambakht hain ye,
Dushman-i-taaj-o-takht hain ye,
Hungama-i-jashn se ye behalte nahi hain,
Bina ROTI ke ye jite nahi hain.
Chodho bhi ye kisano ka kissa meri jaan,
Aao naghma koi hum gaaye meri jaan,
Ye mauka hai khushi ka khushiya manao,
Sarkar ki dusri saalgirah tum manao.
