Haal e HIND!!! jaane kahan gaye woh din!!!!

Jaane kahan gaye woh din, karte the kharche shaan se,

Nikalte the paise haath se, khaate the  phatte pet bhar,

nikalte the dakaarein shaan se; jaane kahan gaye woh din;

Jaane kahan gaye woh din – keemat thi theek rupaiye ki,

Chaahe kahin bhi tum raho – paisath ho ya sattar sahi,

Karte rahenge raah mein, aansoon ke sajde hum sabhi;

Jaane kahan gaye woh din, rote the pyaaz kaat te…     ;

ab rote hain bas usko dekh ke, jaane kahan gaye woh din!!!

chaahenge tum ko pet bhar, tum ko na bhool paayenge;

mere kadam jahan pade, barbaadi ka samaa dikhe;

sajde nahin mayyat dikhe, yaar gaya bhaad mein;

jaane kahan gaye woh din, mujhko rula rula diya,

badhte hue daam ne, 

apne budget mein aaj kal,; aaloo bhi lage hai phal,

apni nazar mein aaj kal; din bhi andheri raat hai,

asha hi apne saath tha; nirasha hi apne saath hai;
