phadphadata hua parinda hai
man lo ki dua parinda hai

is kadi dhup mein mere hamrah
ret aansu hawa parinda hai

khwahishon ka safar nahin rukta
ye ajab bhagta parinda hai

jhil sukhi to wo palat aaya
dil ke hathon muda parinda hai

maut us ko kaho baja lekin
asl mein to uda parinda hai

aane wali bahaar hai 'babar'
meri chhat par ruka parinda hai
