gasht mein hai meri nazar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar
phirne lagi idhar-udhar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar

surat-e-khak ki basar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar
phirta raha hun umr bhar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar

kaun hai tu kahan hai tu milta nahin mujhe pata
dhum hai teri is qadar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar

chain nahin kisi jagah phirta hun qais ki tarah
duniya mein sab ko chhod kar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar

nalan idhar hai dil mera jab se koi juda hua
dhundhti hai udhar nazar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar

haal kuchh aur ho gaya pad gae lale jaan ke
thokaren khain is qadar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar

dil tha kisi ki yaad thi ashk the aur aah thi
rota raha hun umr bhar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar

dil tha mera makan-e-dost dil hi mein tha maqam-e-dost
phir bhi talash ki magar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar

dair-o-haram mein kab mila samne wo kabhi na tha
dhunden use kidhar kidhar kidhar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar

chain use kahin nahin phirta hai 'hamid'-e-hazin
thame hue dil-o-jigar kucha-ba-kucha dar-ba-dar
