man-mauji hai ek dagar mein rahta hai
dil ka dariya roz safar mein rahta hai

ek patang udti hai meri soch mein roz
dor liye wo pas-manzar mein rahta hai

kaun lakiren khinch raha hai aangan mein
kaun hai jo is khali ghar mein rahta hai

roz main in galiyon ki khair manati hun
roz ek shoala-khez khabar mein rahta hai

kab tak main ghar ke darwaze band karun
khauf ye kaisa baam-o-dar mein rahta hai

chunte the shahtut kabhi un raston mein
ab pipal ka ped nazar mein rahta hai
