mukesh and asha bhonsle singing

وہ صبح ہمیں سے آئے گی ۔ ساحر لدھیانوی

 

وہ صبح ہمیں سے آئے گی

 

جب دھرتی کروٹ بدلے گی، جب قید سے قیدی چھوٹیں گے

جب پاپ گھروندے پھوٹیں گے، جب ظلم کے بندھن ٹوٹیں گے

اُس صبح کو ہم ہی لائیں گے، وہ صبح ہمیں سے آئے گی

وہ صبح ہمیں سے آئے گی

 

منحوس سماجی ڈھانچوں میں، جب ظلم نہ پالے جائیں گے

جب ہاتھ نہ کاٹے جائیں گے، جب سر نہ اُچھالے جائیں گے

جیلوں کے بِنا جب دُنیا کی سرکار چلائی جائے گی

وہ صبح ہمیں سے آئے گی

 

سرکار کے سارے محنت کش، کھیتوں سے مِلوں سے نکلیں گے

بے گھر، بے در، بے بس اِنساں، تاریک بِلوں سے نکلیں گے

دُنیا امن اور خوش حالی کے پھولوں سے سجائی جائے گی

وہ صبح ہمیں سے آئے گی

वो सुबह हमीं से आएगी – साहिर लुधियानवी

 

वो सुबह हमीं से आएगी

 

जब धरती करवट बदलेगी, जब क़ैद से क़ैदी छूटेंगे

जब पाप घरोंदे फूटेंगे, जब ज़ुल्म के बंधन टूटेंगे

वो सुबह को हम ही लाएंगे, वो सुबह हमीं से आएगी

 

मनहूस समाजी ढांचों में, जब ज़ुल्म ने पाले जाएंगे

जब हाथ न काटे जाएंगे, जॉब सर न उछाले जाएंगे

जेलों के बिना जब दुनिया की सरकार चलाई जाएगी

वो सुबह हमीं से आएगी

 

संसार के सारे मेहनत कश, खेतौं से मिलौं से निकलेंगे

बे-घर, बे-दर, बे-बस इन्सां तारीक बिलौं से निक्लेंगे

दुनिया अम्न और ख़ुश-हाली के फूलौं में सजाई जाएगी

वो सुबह हमीं से आएगी
