ujle maile pesh hue — Gauhar Hoshiyarpuri

naav na Duubi dariyaa mein
naav mein dariyaa Duub gayaa

log kinaare aan lage
aur kinaara Duub gayaa

phulon mein vahi to phuul Thahraa
jo tere salaam ko khilaa ho

lahja to badal chubhti hui baat se pahle
tiir aisaa to kuchh ho jise nakhchir bhi chaahe

qadam qadam koi saaya saa muttasil to rahe
saraab kaa ye sar-e-silsila daraaz to ho

kahaan vo zabt ke daave kahaan ye ham 'gauhar'
ki TuTte the na phir TuuT kar bikharte the

aah marg-e-aadmi par aadmi roe bahut
koi bhi royaa na marg-e-aadamiyyat ke liye

maut se kis ko rustagaari hai
aaj vo kal hamaari baari hai

ik ghaDi zindagi mein aati hai
maut kaa intizaar hotaa hai

na aae maut khudaayaa tabaah-haali mein
ye naam hogaa gham-e-rozgaar sah na sakaa

unhi pe ho kabhi naazil azaab aag ajal
vahi nagar kabhi Thahrein payambaron vaale

maut se ziist ki takmil nahin ho sakti
raushni khaak mein tahlil nahin ho sakti
