hamne ab tak gaal bacha ke rakhe hain kya tumne bhi gulaal bacha ke rakhe hain

chalti phirti hui aankhoñ se azaan dekhi hai main ne jannat to nahin dekhi hai maa dekhi hai

ye ek abr ka tukda kahaan kahaan barase tamaam dasht hi pyaasa dikhaai deta hai

girja men mandiron men azaanon men bat gaya hote hi subh aadmi khaanon men bat gaya

tumhaare shahar men tohmat hai zinda rahna bhi jinhen aziz theen jaanen vo marte jaate hain

gud seen meetha hai bosa tujh lab ka is jalebi men qand o shakkar hai

vo tamasha o khel holi ka sab ke tan rakht-e-kesari hai yaad
