كارون صدايت مي زند پرواز كن پرواز كن
همراه با كارون ما فرياد كن فرياد كن
با دشمن بيداد گر بيداد كن بيداد كن
تا وارهند از قيد و بند اين مردم محنت زده
تا پايه ظلم و ستم ويران شود در شهر و ده
كارون ما كارون ما بشنو حديث سوز ما
از قطره هاي خون ما قلبت به رنگ لاله شد
كارون ما كارون ما بشنو حديث سوز ما
از حسرت ديروز ما از ماتم امروز ما
تا كي تند بر پود ما تار سياد بندگي
تا كي خلد خار ستم بر پاي لخت زندگي
زحمت ار آن ما همه . رحمت از آن ديگران
ذلت به كوي ما همه ، عزت به كوي ديگران
كارون ما كارون ما بشنو حديث سوز ما
از حسرت ديروز ما از ماتم امروز ما
اي شاهد درد و بلاي روز و شب افزون ما
كارون درد آلوده و دل خسته و محزون ما
كارون ما كارون ما بشنو حديث سوز ما
از حسرت ديروز ما از ماتم امروز ما
