mera banna-sanwarna apni ja hai
tera dukh to wagarna apni ja hai

bahut bardasht hai diwar-o-dar ki
kahan us ghar mein warna apni ja hai

main misl-e-sang-e-kohsar-e-garan hun
mere andar ka jharna apni ja hai

baja hai chadar-e-shab ki damak bhi
sitaron ka bikharna apni ja hai

ye dariya apni rau mein bah raha hai
kisi ka jina-marna apni ja hai

guzargah-e-zamana bhi hai lekin
tera dil se guzarna apni ja hai

hasin wade kiye the us ne 'jaanan'
unhen ifa na karna apni ja hai
