kaise kaise ye kamalat dikhaen baba

kaise kaise ye kamālāt dikhā.eñ baabā

log sūraj ko hathelī pe ugā.eñ baabā

duudh bachchoñ ko bhalā kaise pilā.eñ baabā

ek muddat huī faaqe se haiñ maa.eñ baabā

log ab us ko bhī autār samajh lete haiñ

chhīn letā hai jo bahnoñ kī ridā.eñ baabā

jism to jism haiñ jazbāt jhulas jaate haiñ

garm hotī haiñ bahut shahrī havā.eñ baabā

kachchī kaliyoñ ko hasīñ phuul banā detī haiñ

kitnī bad-zāt haiñ sūraj kī shuā.eñ baabā

dost haq baat pe goyā to haiñ lekin aise

jaise goyā hoñ ajantā kī guphā.eñ baabā

tauba kartī hai magar aaj nahīñ kal 'gulshan'

aaj to chhā.ī haiñ ghanghor ghaTā.eñ baabā
