log samjhe the chhupa rakkha hai dhan gathri mein
hum ne to rakkhi thi mathe ki shikan gathri mein

aa gaya tha hamein kuchh chand sitaron pe taras
hum ne to bandh hi lena tha gagan gathri mein

ye hunar sikh len ye aap ke kaam aaega
aib hathon pe rakha karte hain fan gathri mein

dam itne ki kisi chiz ko chhuna tha muhaal
bandh ke laya hun mele se thakan gathri mein

soch pe pahra bithaya hai kisi ne ab tak
kya koi bandh ke rakh sakta hai man gathri mein

wahi odha diya mayyat pe meri apnon ne
main ne jo rakkha tha yaadon ka kafan gathri mein

hum se sach-much hi badi bhul hui thi 'rahat'
hum ko rakh lena thi sine ki chubhan gathri mein
