meri basti mein jitni ladkiyan hain
khuda ka shukr parde waliyan hain

main insan hun farishta to nahin hun
so mujh mein bhi yaqinan khamiyan hain

tumhaare bin meri haalat hai aisi
bina pani ke jaisi kashtiyan hain

chalen sochen zara is masale par
hamare darmiyan kyon duriyan hain

main khud ko kyon bhala samjhunga tanha
meri hamdam meri tanhaiyan hain

kabhi logon ke chehre bhi padha kar
raqam chehron pe bhi sachchaiyan hain

hamare apne bhi hain ajnabi se
hamari jab se khali jholiyan hain

hamare des mein mear-e-izzat
nahin insaniyat bas kursiyan hain

mari wale bhi aate hain yahan par
ki baltistan mein aisi wadiyan hain

khayanat mat karo khak-e-watan se
ki tere tan pe khaki wardiyan hain

chhapi hai in mein zalim ki tabahi
lab-e-mazlum par jo siskiyan hain

ise kahte hain phulon se mohabbat
hamesha gulsitan mein titliyan hain

na ghuro rah chalti ladkiyon ko
tumhaare ghar mein bhi to betiyan hain

wo jin ko dekh kar rab yaad aae
jahan mein aisi bhi kuchh hastiyan hain

utha lae to ho tum sipiyon ko
muzayyan motiyon se sipiyan hain

na ghabrana ai 'nuri' mushkilon se
ki mushkil mein chhupi aasaniyan hain
