aala baala makdi ka jala
makdi bhuri makda kala

ghat lagae donon baithe
khamoshi se japte mala

lo jale mein phans gai makkhi
daud ke fauran pahunchi makdi

us ko mazbuti se jakda
khub use jale mein lipta

hath panw makkhi ne chalae
lekin us ke kaam na aae

jaan haari bechaari makkhi
kha gae us ko makda makdi

dekh ke sara gadbad jhaala
hui udas ma'sum ghazala

kahne lagi wo aala baala
hae-re wo makdi ka jala

jis mein phans gai makkhi baala
aala baala makdi ka jala

sheron ko jangal mein dekho
hiran bane hai un ka niwala

isi tarah chalti hai duniya
hairan kyon hoti hai ghazala

tum har jaan-dar ko dekho
ek dusre ka hai wo niwala
