kash main hota ek parinda
kash main hota ek parinda

jagah jagah ki sair ko jata
sab mulkon ki khabar bhi lata

jab thak jata tab main gata
gate gate main so jata

kash main hota ek parinda
kale baadal jab chha jate

gad gad gad karte aate
pani ka paigham sunate

tab main mithi tan udata
kash main hota ek parinda

apne ko aazad main pa kar
dana dunka sab kuchh kha kar

nile se aakash mein ja kar
dhire dhire main mandlata

kash main hota ek parinda
gad gad gad gad baadal aate

rim-jhim rim-jhim barsa late
umda sa ek saz milate

tab main git suhana gata
kash main hota ek parinda

ram dhanak ya qaus-e-quzah mein
prithwi se aakash ki rah mein

jhula jo hai ek faza mein
'kaukab' us mein jhulne jata

kash main hota ek parinda
