Dar kyon jate hain ye Darne wale log

Dar kyoñ jaate haiñ ye Darne vaale log

marne se pahle hī marne vaale log

umr ke kitne pyāre saal bachāte haiñ

pyaar mohabbat ishq na karne vaale log

log vo kitnī chain kī nīndeñ sote haiñ

va.ada kar ke jald mukarne vaale log

ik din saarī dhartī ko khā jā.eñge

ghaas ke pīchhe miTTī charne vaale log

jiite jī kyoñ itnā shor machāte the

qabroñ meñ sannāTā bharne vaale log

dekheñ nasīhat kyā vo ham ko paḌhāte haiñ

vaise nahīñ haiñ ham to sudharne vaale log

tairne kī ummīdoñ meñ tum mat Duubo

Duub ga.e haiñ saare tairne vaale log

lab se lagā kar mai kī pyaas bujhāte haiñ

peḌ ke sar par chhātā dharne vaale log

raaz bulandī ke duniyā se chhupāte haiñ

sīḌhī se chup-chāp utarne vaale log

aaj 'alaḳh' ko kyoñ imkān meñ DhūñDte ho

ḳhaak se kyā ubhreñge ubharne vaale log

Dar kyon jate hain ye Darne wale log

marne se pahle hi marne wale log

umr ke kitne pyare sal bachate hain

pyar mohabbat ishq na karne wale log

log wo kitni chain ki ninden sote hain

wada kar ke jald mukarne wale log

ek din sari dharti ko kha jaenge

ghas ke pichhe miTTi charne wale log

jite ji kyon itna shor machate the

qabron mein sannaTa bharne wale log

dekhen nasihat kya wo hum ko paDhate hain

waise nahin hain hum to sudharne wale log

tairne ki ummidon mein tum mat Dubo

Dub gae hain sare tairne wale log

lab se laga kar mai ki pyas bujhate hain

peD ke sar par chhata dharne wale log

raaz bulandi ke duniya se chhupate hain

siDhi se chup-chap utarne wale log

aaj 'alaKH' ko kyon imkan mein DhunDte ho

KHak se kya ubhrenge ubharne wale log
