kaT chuka jangal magar zid par aDi hai

kaT chukā jangal magar zid par aḌī hai

ek chiḌiyā ghoñsla le kar khaḌī hai

aise udhḌā hai badan sūkhī nadī kā

jaise koī laash lā-vāris paḌī hai

kho diyā sab taap bādal se lipaT kar

dhuup bhī kis kī mohabbat meñ paḌī hai

is mahal ke sāmne kyoñ ruk ga.e tum

sau qadam aage vo apnī jhoñpḌī hai

yaad rakh ham ek chhāte ke tale haiñ

bhuul jā rim-jhim hai uupar yā jhaḌī hai

bīndh rakkhā thā tumhārā chitr jis ne

kiil vo dīvār meñ ab bhī gaḌī hai

aadhī ābādī hai bhaḌkī him-nadī sī

ab kināre Duub jaane kī ghaḌī hai

kaT chuka jangal magar zid par aDi hai

ek chiDiya ghonsla le kar khaDi hai

aise udhDa hai badan sukhi nadi ka

jaise koi lash la-waris paDi hai

kho diya sab tap baadal se lipaT kar

dhup bhi kis ki mohabbat mein paDi hai

is mahal ke samne kyon ruk gae tum

sau qadam aage wo apni jhonpDi hai

yaad rakh hum ek chhate ke tale hain

bhul ja rim-jhim hai upar ya jhaDi hai

bindh rakkha tha tumhaara chitr jis ne

kil wo diwar mein ab bhi gaDi hai

aadhi aabaadi hai bhaDki him-nadi si

ab kinare Dub jaane ki ghaDi hai
