aurten hamein dhakelti hain
ham gandum par iktifā kar lete
lekin hamāre sāmne kachchī roTī kī mahak rakhī ga.ī
aur phir roze toḌne paḌe
ham ek gunāh par raazī the
lekin un meñ māmtā kuuT kuuT kar bharī huī thī
so hameñ saare savāb khone paḌe
ham apnī zamīnoñ par mutma.in hone ko the
ki jangal meñ lakaḌhāre se mulāqāt ho ga.ī
aur achānak barsāt
hameñ chaar ke ma.anī ma.alūm bhī na ho paate
agar ham kabhī ek se sair na hue hote
aur is amal ko zarb-e-musalsal se na guzārā jaatā
hameñ har kueñ meñ ḳhud-kushī kā shauq bhī na hotā
agar vo hamārī raat se zyāda gahre na ho sakte
aur paanī mazīd sastā
ham un ke pairoñ talak rahte
agar dil kā rāsta naaf se ho kar na jaatā
aur dimāġh vo takiyoñ pe na dhar ātīñ
hameñ surḳh rang kī aadat Daalī ga.ī
jis se un par lagne vaale saare dhabbe hamāre kahlā.e
aur sharāb ke ma.anī badalte rahe
hameñ aag se khelte hue
ek raat bhī na mukammal huī ki elaan huā
apnī marzī se khelne par hāviya hamesha ke liye tumhārī huī
hum gandum par iktifa kar lete
lekin hamare samne kachchi roTi ki mahak rakhi gai
aur phir roze toDne paDe
hum ek gunah par raazi the
lekin un mein mamta kuT kuT kar bhari hui thi
so hamein sare sawab khone paDe
hum apni zaminon par mutmain hone ko the
ki jangal mein lakaDhaare se mulaqat ho gai
aur achanak barsat
hamein chaar ke mani malum bhi na ho pate
agar hum kabhi ek se sair na hue hote
aur is amal ko zarb-e-musalsal se na guzara jata
hamein har kuen mein KHud-kushi ka shauq bhi na hota
agar wo hamari raat se zyaada gahre na ho sakte
aur pani mazid sasta
hum un ke pairon talak rahte
agar dil ka rasta naf se ho kar na jata
aur dimagh wo takiyon pe na dhar aatin
hamein surKH rang ki aadat Dali gai
jis se un par lagne wale sare dhabbe hamare kahlae
aur sharab ke mani badalte rahe
hamein aag se khelte hue
ek raat bhi na mukammal hui ki elan hua
apni marzi se khelne par hawiya hamesha ke liye tumhaari hui
