ye raat bahut rangin sahi

ye raat bahut rangin sahi, is raat men gam kaa zahar bhi hai

nagamon ki khanak men duubi huyi, fariyaad-o-fugaan ki lahar bhi hai

ye raat bahut rangin sahi



tum raks karo main sher padhuun, matalab to hai kuchh kairaat mile

is kaum ke bachchon ki kaatir, kuchh sikkon ki saugaat mile

sikke to karodon dhal-dhalakar, takasaal se baahar aate hain

kin vaaron men kho jaate hain, kin pardon men chhup jaate hain



ye zulm nahin to phir kyaa hai, paise se to kaale dhandhe hon

aur mulk ki vaaris naslon ki taalim ki kaatir chande hon

ab kaam nahin chal sakane kaa, raham aur kairaat ke naare se

is des ke bachche anapadh hain, daulat ke galat bantavaare se



badale ye nizaam-e-zaradaari, badale ye nizaam-e-zaradaari

kah do ye siyaasatadaanon se, ye masaalaa hal hone kaa nahin

kaagaz pe chhape elaanon se

ye masaalaa hal hone kaa nahin, kaagaz pe chhape elaanon se



ye raat bahut rangin sahi, is raat men gam kaa zahar bhi hai

ye raat bahut rangin sahi
