soch-nagar ke kolahal se bach jate to sote bhi

soch-nagar ke kolāhal se bach jaate to sote bhī

so jaate to sapnoñ ke man chāhe haar pirote bhī

suukh ga.ī ehsās kī rag rag kunThā kī lau sah sah kar

ab jo zarā sā jī bhar aatā jī bhar ke ham rote bhī

dil kā kabūtar agar uḌā le alhaḌ-pan kī koī adā

chāhat ke hāthoñ ke aksar uḌ jaate haiñ tote bhī

chaḌhtī dhuup utarte paanī ruuTh na jaate ham se agar

na.ī rutoñ meñ ga.ī rutoñ ke daaġh purāne dhote bhī

kaash bhañvar kī aañkh bulātī baañh pasāre maujeñ bhī

nadī kināre baiTh ke ham tum haath aur pair bhigote bhī

soch-nagar ke kolahal se bach jate to sote bhi

so jate to sapnon ke man chahe haar pirote bhi

sukh gai ehsas ki rag rag kunTha ki lau sah sah kar

ab jo zara sa ji bhar aata ji bhar ke hum rote bhi

dil ka kabutar agar uDa le alhaD-pan ki koi ada

chahat ke hathon ke aksar uD jate hain tote bhi

chaDhti dhup utarte pani ruTh na jate hum se agar

nai ruton mein gai ruton ke dagh purane dhote bhi

kash bhanwar ki aankh bulati banh pasare maujen bhi

nadi kinare baiTh ke hum tum hath aur pair bhigote bhi
