karam ki bhikh maangi hamane tumase aur sitam paayaa
kushi lene ko aaye dar pe aur gam paayaa

bataa ai aasamaan vaale tere bande kidhar jaayein
vahi bedard duniyaa hai jahaan jaayein jidhar jaayein
bataa ai aasamaan vaale

jafaaon par jafaa bedaad hoti hai
hamaari umr hi kyaa maut bhi barabaad hoti hai
hamein itanaa to batalaa de jiyein ham yaa ke mar jaayein
bataa ai aasamaan vaale

jigar chhalani hai aur dil gam ke tiron kaa nishaanaa hai
hamaari zindagi ik dard kaa fasaanaa hai
na jine kaa thikaanaa hai na marane kaa thikaanaa hai
jo tere dar se thukaraaye gaye vo kisake dar jaayein
bataa ai aasamaan vaale

are o muskaraa kar meri haalat dekhane vaalon
koyi to raham faramaao musibat dekhane vaalon
kahin aisaa na ho ham thokarein khaa ke mar jaayein
bataa ai aasamaan vaale
