jadui mahaul mein har lene wali chhatriyan
malgaji rut dudhiya hathon mein kali chhatriyan

hum ne jin qadron ko samjha tha khayali chhatriyan
thin wahin tufan mein kaam aane wali chhatriyan

gham ke sahra ki tapish khud jhelni hogi hamein
bewafa ahbab hain sae se khali chhatriyan

aaj khud hi be-tahaffuz hain zamane ke khuda
waqt wo hai khud hain sae ki sawali chhatriyan

teri furqat ki tapish kuchh in se kam hoti nahin
jam-o-raqs-o-naghma hain sab dekhi-bhaali chhatriyan

ye hasin chehre ye gore sanwi chikne badan
ye ghamon ki dhup mein kaam aane wali chhatriyan

kat hi lega bashar dukh ki bhari barsat ko
tan kar jhuti umidon ki khayali chhatriyan

dhup ke mare huo kohsar ke daman mein aao
patta patta saeban hain dali dali chhatriyan
