ye sarhaden padosanen
kabhi hansi-khushi rahin

kabhi zara si baat ho to lad padin
na aanganon mein ek sath raqs ho

na baam par hi bahami qadam pade
gali mein koi khel ho

na tal ho, na mel ho
kashidgi ke nam par ghutan ki rel-pel ho

ye sarhaden padosanen
padosanon se kya kahen

jahan mein ranjishon ke sab glacier pighal gae
magar yahan kuduraton ki barf hai jami hui

hawa se kis tarah kahen
chale to sirf ek hi taraf chale

ye dhup bhi to kab kisi ke bas mein hai
ki parbaton ko sarhadon mein bant de

ye khar-dar daere kahin bhi khinchte chalo
magar kabhi koi sada bhi ruk saki

ye khushbuon ke qafile
rahenge har taraf rawan

gali mein aa hi jaengi
mohabbaton ki titliyan

ye sarhaden padosanen
banengi phir saheliyan!
