hamen sairab rakkha hai khuda ka shukr hai us ne
jahan banjar zaminen hon ana.en shor karti hain

hamen bhi tajraba hai be-ghari ka chhat na hone ka
darinde, bijliyan, kaali ghaTa.en shor karti hain

jo chala gaya so chala gaya jo hai paas us ka khayal rakh
jo luTa diya use bhuul ja jo bacha hai us ko sambhal rakh

ye kamra aur ye gard-o-ghubar us ka hai
vo jis ne aana nahin intizar us ka hai

khud apna saath bhi chubhne laga tha
ajab tanha.i ki aadat hui thi

aate rahte hain falak se bhi ishare kuchh na kuchh
baat kar lete hain ham se chand taare kuchh na kuchh

ye kamra aur ye gard-o-ghubaar us kaa hai
vo jis ne aanaa nahin intizaar us kaa hai

jo chalaa gayaa so chalaa gayaa jo hai paas us kaa khayaal rakh
jo luTaa diyaa use bhuul jaa jo bachaa hai us ko sambhaal rakh

hamein sairaab rakkhaa hai khudaa kaa shukr hai us ne
jahaan banjar zaminein hon anaaein shor karti hain

aate rahte hain falak se bhi ishaare kuchh na kuchh
baat kar lete hain ham se chaand taare kuchh na kuchh

jaati thi koi raah akeli kisi jaanib
tanhaa thaa safar mein koi saayaa use kahnaa

hamein bhi tajraba hai be-ghari kaa chhat na hone kaa
darinde, bijliyaan, kaali ghaTaaein shor karti hain
