    hiran ek chhoTā bachcha

    dariyā ke kināre aa niklā

    vahāñ pe ek bataḳh bhī thī

    machhlī se vo ye kahtī thī

    maiñ to dariyā meñ nahātī huuñ

    jab chāhūñ maiñ uḌ jaatī huuñ

    thak jā.ūñ maiñ to baiTh rahūñ

    jab chāhūñ maiñ sabze pe chalūñ

    tum to dariyā machhlī ho

    paanī meñ rahtī bastī ho

    tum merī tarah se chal na sako

    tum merī tarah hil-jul na sako

    tum merī tarah se aa na sako

    tum merī tarah se na sako

    ye baat sunī ik saañp ne

    ġhusse se lagā vo kāñpne

    vo bolā kyuuñ majbūr hai

    kam-himmat hai majbūr hai

    yuuñ machhlī ko shaiḳhī na dikhā

    kuchh himmat hai to sāmne aa

    ab bol ki kyā uḌtī hai

    aa chiil ke sāmne uḌ ke dikhā

    ab bol ki kyā dauḌtī hai

    aa ḳhargosh se race lagā

    ab bol ki kyā tairtī hai

    aa machhlī se pair milā

    ab samjhī ab jaanī

    ye bāteñ haiñ ānī-jānī

    hai asal to ye kuchh kar ke dikhā

    duniyā ye kahe kyā ḳhuub kiyā

    jo gur sīkho puurā sīkho

    jo kaam karo achchhā karo

    hiran ka ek chhoTa bachcha

    dariya ke kinare aa nikla

    wahan pe ek bataKH bhi thi

    machhli se wo ye kahti thi

    main to dariya mein nahati hun

    jab chahun main uD jati hun

    thak jaun main to baiTh rahun

    jab chahun main sabze pe chalun

    tum to dariya ki machhli ho

    pani mein rahti basti ho

    tum meri tarah se chal na sako

    tum meri tarah hil-jul na sako

    tum meri tarah se aa na sako

    tum meri tarah se ja na sako

    ye baat suni ek sanp ne

    ghusse se laga wo kanpne

    wo bola kyun majbur hai tu

    kam-himmat hai majbur hai tu

    yun machhli ko shaiKHi na dikha

    kuchh himmat hai to samne aa

    ab bol ki kya tu uDti hai

    aa chil ke samne uD ke dikha

    ab bol ki kya tu dauDti hai

    aa KHargosh se race laga

    ab bol ki kya tu tairti hai

    aa tu machhli se pair mila

    ab tu samjhi ab tu jaani

    ye baaten hain aani-jaani

    hai asal to ye kuchh kar ke dikha

    duniya ye kahe kya KHub kiya

    jo gur sikho pura sikho

    jo kaam karo achchha hi karo
