taq pe rakhi sari baat
bhul gae diwari baat

chaar taraf ghaalib hai ek
khamoshi par tari baat

baat ka raja kaun bane
kaun kare darbari baat

udte baadal roti aag
bahta pani jari baat

dam ko be-tah karta hai
bhaari pani khaari baat

phailegi chaurangi se
chaar taraf chaubari baat

mutrib dil sa git koi
saqi ek gulzari baat

baat hai ye andaz bhala
baat ki baat mein sari baat
