dil ek kuTiya dasht kinare

duniyā-bhar se duur ye nagrī

nagrī duniyā-bhar se nirālī

andar armānoñ kā mela

bāhar se dekho to ḳhālī

ham haiñ is kuTiyā ke jogī

ham haiñ is nagrī ke vaalī

ham ne taj rakkhā hai zamānā

tum aanā to tanhā aanā

dil ik kuTiyā dasht kināre

bastī kā sā haal nahīñ hai

mukhiyā piir prohit payāde

in sab kā janjāl nahīñ hai

nā baniye na seTh na Thākur

paiñTh nahīñ chaupāl nahīñ hai

sonā ruupā chaukī masnad

ye bhī māl-manāl nahīñ hai

lekin ye jogī dil vaalā

ai gorī kañgāl nahīñ hai

chāho jo chāhat kā ḳhazānā

tum aanā aur tanhā aanā

aahū māñge ban kā ramnā

bhañvrā chāhe phuul kī Daalī

sūkhe khet kī koñpal māñge

ik ghanghor badriyā kaalī

dhuup jale kahīñ saaya chāheñ

andhī rāteñ diip divālī

ham kyā māñgeñ ham kyā chāheñ

hoñT sile aur jholī ḳhālī

dil bhañvrā na phuul na koñpal

bagiyā nā bagiyā kā maalī

dil aahū na dhuup na saayā

dil kī apnī baat nirālī

dil to kisī darshan kā bhūkā

dil to kisī darshan kā savālī

naam liye bin paḌā pukāre

kise pukāre dasht kināre

ye to ik duniyā ko chāheñ

in ko kis ne apnā jaanā

aur to sab logoñ ke Thikāne

ab bhaTkeñ to aap hī bhaTkeñ

chhoḌā duniyā ko bhaTkānā

giit kabat aur nazmeñ ġhazleñ

ye sab in kā maal purānā

jhūTī bāteñ sachchī bāteñ

biitī bāteñ kyā dohrānā

ab to gorī na.e sire se

añdhiyāroñ meñ diip jalānā

majbūrī? kaisī majbūrī

aanā ho to laakh bahānā

aanā is kuTiyā ke dvāre

dil ik kuTiyā dasht kināre

duniya-bhar se dur ye nagri

nagri duniya-bhar se nirali

andar armanon ka mela

bahar se dekho to KHali

hum hain is kuTiya ke jogi

hum hain is nagri ke wali

hum ne taj rakkha hai zamana

tum aana to tanha aana

dil ek kuTiya dasht kinare

basti ka sa haal nahin hai

mukhiya pir prohit payaade

in sab ka janjal nahin hai

na baniye na seTh na Thakur

painTh nahin chaupal nahin hai

sona rupa chauki masnad

ye bhi mal-manal nahin hai

lekin ye jogi dil wala

ai gori kangal nahin hai

chaho jo chahat ka KHazana

tum aana aur tanha aana

aahu mange ban ka ramna

bhanwra chahe phul ki Dali

sukhe khet ki konpal mange

ek ghanghor badriya kali

dhup jale kahin saya chahen

andhi raaten dip diwali

hum kya mangen hum kya chahen

honT sile aur jholi KHali

dil bhanwra na phul na konpal

bagiya na bagiya ka mali

dil aahu na dhup na saya

dil ki apni baat nirali

dil to kisi darshan ka bhuka

dil to kisi darshan ka sawali

nam liye bin paDa pukare

kise pukare dasht kinare

ye to ek duniya ko chahen

in ko kis ne apna jaana

aur to sab logon ke Thikane

ab bhaTken to aap hi bhaTken

chhoDa duniya ko bhaTkana

git kabat aur nazmen ghazlen

ye sab in ka mal purana

jhuTi baaten sachchi baaten

biti baaten kya dohrana

ab to gori nae sire se

andhiyaron mein dip jalana

majburi? kaisi majburi

aana ho to lakh bahana

aana is kuTiya ke dware

dil ek kuTiya dasht kinare
