jine aae hi mukhtasar ji len
ranj ho ya khushi magar ji len

umr kuchh bhi ho zindagi kam hai
ghair-mumkin hai umr-bhar ji len

chand yaaden jo apna hissa hain
un ki khushiyon ko bant kar ji len

bas isi mein hai shan jine ki
apne apne maqam par ji len

un ki himmat hai jo qadam-ba-qadam
maut ke sath sar-basar ji len

baat jab hai ki yaadgar bane
faeda kya jo be-asar ji len

mausamon ko utha ke kandhon par
kash hum surat-e-shajar ji len

kaun si rah se badhen aage
kaun se mod par thahar ji len

kaam hum ko diya gaya hai yahi
git ga kar nagar-nagar ji len

tum ki ji lo khushi ki mahfil mein
hum ki nakaamiyon ke ghar ji len

khana-e-jam to ujadta hi hai
aap kitna hi ban-sanwar ji len

hum isi aarzu pe marte hain
dal de pyar ki nazar ji len
