Paragraph 2:

upar neeche neeche upar
lahar chale jeevan ki
naadan hain jo baith kinaare
pooche raah vatan ki
chalna jeevan ki kahani
rukhna maut ki nishaani...

Paragraph 3:

honge raaje raajkhunvar ham
bigade dil shahzade
hum sinhaasan par jaa baite
jab jab karen iraade
surat hai jaani pehachani
duniya walon ko hairaani...
