Main nahi rehna tere giraN

chhadd de choorhay waliye kuRiye!
chhadd de sonay-ladhiye pariye!
chhadd de, chhadd de meri bhaanh,
main nahi rehna tere giraN.

vekh liya ni tera giraN,
parakh liya ni tera giraN,
jithey veer veeraN nu khaanday,
siroN maar dhuppay sutt jaanday,
jithey lakh mannaN da loheya,
zanzeeraN hathgharhiyaN hoyea.
jithey qaid-khanyeaN jaillaN,
meelaN teek walghana waliyaN,
jithey mazhab de naaN thallay,
darya kai khoon de challay,
jithey wattan-parasti taeeN,
zuram samajhdi dhakke shaahi.
jithey shaiyar bol na sakkan.
dil diyaN ghundiyaN khol na sakkan.
main nahi rehna aisee thaaN.....

ki na diTha tere giran?
ki na sunneyaN tere giraN?
sabh kujh diTha tere giraN,
sabh kujh sunneyaN tere giraN.
dangraN wangooN banday Rabb de,
baghiyaN aggay vekhay waghde.
khopRiyan de thaRhay chinnide,
utte lokk namaaz paRhiNde,
lakhaN nafar jaagde jeenday,
baadshahaN de naal dafiNde,
'Issa' warge sooli chaRhde,
'Hasan' 'Hussain' piyaase marde.
'Nanak' warge chakkiyan peehnday,
'Raam' jihe banwasi theenday,
hor na hunn main vekh sakkaN...........

beh na aweiN ban ban vauhti,
toon taan kuRiye nahuN nahuN khoti.
teriyan 'Loona' wargiyan akhaN,
'Puran Bhagat' dillaN de lakhaN,
ThoDi de khooh ander paaye.
naal taseehay de tarhfaaye.
laa na waadhoo lappay laare,
phand tere main jaana saare.
lai pharh apni shohrat faani,
de mainu meri ghumnaami,
lai pharh apne mehal chubaare,
de de mere chhannaN dhaare.
lai le apni naRhi nawaabi,
deh mainu meri azaadi.
lai le apni ghiyo di choori,
de dey mainu meri saboori.
lai le apni kuRay ameeri,
de dey mainu meri faqeeri.
teri nikki chichi utte,
naach hazaaraN ne main nache,
hor na hunn main nach sakkaN....

chhadd de choorhay waliye kuRiye!
chhadd de sonay-ladhiye pariye!
chhadd de, chhadd de meri bhaanh,
main nahi rehna tere giraN.

hunn te ni main eho chaahaN,
iss shuhrat di dandi uttoN,
maar diyaN main chhaal hithaN.
ghumnaami di vaadi ander,
thallay hi thallay rurh jaaN.
hor hiThaN, hor aagaaN..hor paraaN.
mukk jaawan jithey pagg-dandiyaN,
rehan na mulkhaN dian vandiyaN.
dissan na jithey haddaN paarhay,
mer ter te khakhowaarhay.
pahunch na sakkan jithey chaanghaN,
baangh, tallaN, te sankhaN diaN.

chaare taraf azaadi howe,
mool na koi muthaaji howe.
jo dill aawe panchhi gaawan,
chumman titliyaN jo phull chahwan.
chaahan jidhar muskaawan kalliyan.
chaahan jidhar murh jaawan naddiyan.
chaahan jidhar ugg aawan cheelaN,
chaahan jidhar charh jaawan vaillaN.
iss azaad fizaa de ander,
main ikk duniya nawiN vasaaN....

chhadd de choorhay waliye kuRiye!
chhadd de sonay-ladhiye pariye!
chhadd de, chhadd de meri bhaanh,
main nahi rehna tere giraN.

eiddaN di ghumnaami ander,
chupp chhupeeta main mar jaaN.
na koi mainu lamboo laawe,
na koi meri kabar banaawe.
na koi utte phull charhaawe.
na koi utte diwa jalaawe.
naa koi howe rovan waala,
vainn ghammaN de chhohan waala.
na hi meri phohrhi utte,
jaan duhraaye mere kissay.
naa hi meri zaidaad te,
lishkan chhaviyan kharhkan soTay.
chupp chupeeta main mar jaaN,
koi na jaane mera naaN,
mera giraN, mera nishaN-
chhadd de choorhay waliye kuRiye!
chhadd de sonay-ladhiye pariye!
chhadd de, chhadd de meri bhaanh,
main nahi rehna tere giraN.
