pyase honton se jab koi jhil na boli babu-ji
hum ne apne hi aansu se aankh bhigo li babu-ji

phir koi kala sapna tha palkon ke darwazon par
hum ne yun hi dar ke mare aankh na kholi babu-ji

bhule se jaane-anjaane war na karna tum un par
jin jin ke kandhon par hai ye prit ki doli babu-ji

ye mat puchho is duniya ne kaun se ab tyauhaar diye
di hum ko andhi diwali khun ki holi babu-ji

dil nikle hi mehnat ke ghar hath jo hum ne bheje the
wo hi khali le kar laute sham ko jholi babu-ji

hum par kitne zulm hue hain kaun batae duniya ko
banduqon mein baqi hai kya ek bhi goli babu-ji

wo bhi apni aankhon mein nakhun hi le kar baithe the
dikhne mein jin ki surat thi bahut hi bholi babu-ji

ye kah kah kar kal hum ko sari khushiyan mil jaengi
karte rahte ho kyun hum se roz thitholi babu-ji

us mein kuchh tute sapne the kuchh aahen kuchh aansu the
jab jab bhi hum ne ye apni jeb tatoli babu-ji

ab ki bar to rakhi par bhi bhi de na saki kuchh bhayya ko
ab us ke sune mathe par sirf hai roli babu-ji
