lahu se apne zamin lala-zar dekhte the
bahaar dekhne wale bahaar dekhte the

surur ek jhalak ka tamam umr raha
hawas-parast the jo bar bar dekhte the

kabhi kabhi hamein duniya hasin lagti thi
kabhi kabhi teri aankhon mein pyar dekhte the

chala wo daur-e-sitam ghar mein chhup ke baith gae
jo har salib ko mardana-war dekhte the
