حرکت از اين بيش شتابان کنيم
ولوله در ولوله باران کنيم
جنگل و شهر و ده و کوه و کمر
از نفس خويش شکوفان کنيم
دانه هر گل که تو پرپر کنی
باز بکاريم و دو چندان کنيم
پای بکوبيم و بر اريم دست
خنده زنان ترک سر و جان کنيم

روشن از ايمان به طلوعی قريب
چوبه اعدام چراغان کنيم
دل چو به پيمان خدا داده ايم
سر گرو حرمت پيمان کنيم
تا تو بدانی چه ما می کنيم
هر چه تو گفتي نکنيد ان کنيم
اتش پنهان درون، برون
از دل خاکستر ايران کنيم
شعله بگيريم از اين اتش و
مشعل تاريخ فروزان کنيم
مشعل تاريخ فروزان کنيم
ساخته يی هر چه تو، ويران کنيم
خواب و خيال خوشت اشفته ايم
بيش، از اين نيز پريشان کنيم
می شنوی؟ اين تپش طبل ماست
باش و ببين تا که چه طوفان کنيم

حرکت از اين بيش شتابان کنيم
ولوله در ولوله باران کنيم
