khuda gar hamein ek parinda banata
jahan mein hum ek aashiyana banate

kisi sabz wadi mein apna nasheman
ya sehn-e-chaman ko thikana banate

kabhi udte baadal mein hota basera
kabhi dalte kunj-e-wahshat mein dera

kabhi daman-e-koh hota hamara
kabhi banta ghar ek nadi ka kinara

kabhi git gate ghataon ke niche
kabhi hote pagal hawaon ke pichhe

fazaon mein hum subh se sham karte
andhere se pahle zamin par utarte

koi gulistan mulk hota hamara
hum is ke liye ek tarana banate

khuda gar hamein ek parinda banata
use hum parinde khuda na banate
