suraj se do do baaten

raat sidhārī sūraj aaya

kirnoñ kā ik lashkar laayā

sote sote ḳhilqat jaagī

shab kī syāhī Dar kar bhāgī

jalvoñ kī ik nahr bahā dī

duniyā meñ ik dhuum machā dī

ġhaflat kā sab daftar ulTā

raat ne apnā bistar ulTā

baḌh ke shafaq ne parcham kholā

zarra zarra hañs kar bolā

ai duniyā ke pyāre sūraj

ai āñkhoñ ke taare sūraj

saare jag meñ naam hai terā

kaisā achchhā kaam hai terā

khetoñ meñ haiñ biij ugaa.e

kachche phal bāġhoñ meñ pakā.e

jāḌoñ meñ tū kaam hai aatā

sardī se hai sab ko bachātā

tere dam se bādal aa.e

chhājoñ paanī bhar bhar laa.e

phuul khile hariyālī chhā.ī

tū ne sab kī pyaas bujhā.ī

tū na agar har roz nikaltā

kaam jahāñ kā kaise chaltā

kartā hai tū sab se bhalā.ī

kyā kahnā hai terā bhaa.ī

jab se maiñ ne hosh sañbhālā

dekhā sab meñ terā ujālā

din-bhar dhartī chamkātā hai

raat ko tū kyoñ chhup jaatā hai

ye sab sun kar sūraj bolā

bhed apnā zarroñ par kholā

kahā suno ab batlātā huuñ

raat ko maiñ kyoñ chhup jaatā huuñ

log haiñ din-bhar mehnat karte

miTTī Dhote paanī bharte

khetī karte Dhor charāte

paḌhte likhte daftar jaate

kaam kisī kā hai mazdūrī

mehnat kar ke puurī puurī

saare din ke kaam ke maare

thak jaate haiñ sab bechāre

dekh ke un kī utrī sūrat

uḌ jaatī hai merī rangat

rahm hai mujh ko un par aatā

bas jhaT-paT huuñ maiñ chhup jaatā

chhup jaatā hai muñh jab merā

chhā jaatā hai phir to añdherā

chhoḌ ke apne kaam ko saare

so jaate haiñ paañv pasāre

raat sidhaari suraj aaya

kirnon ka ek lashkar laya

sote sote KHilqat jagi

shab ki syahi Dar kar bhagi

jalwon ki ek nahr baha di

duniya mein ek dhum macha di

ghaflat ka sab daftar ulTa

raat ne apna bistar ulTa

baDh ke shafaq ne parcham khola

zarra zarra hans kar bola

ai duniya ke pyare suraj

ai aankhon ke tare suraj

sare jag mein nam hai tera

kaisa achchha kaam hai tera

kheton mein hain bij ugae

kachche phal baghon mein pakae

jaDon mein tu kaam hai aata

sardi se hai sab ko bachata

tere dam se baadal aae

chhajon pani bhar bhar lae

phul khile hariyali chhai

tu ne sab ki pyas bujhai

tu na agar har roz nikalta

kaam jahan ka kaise chalta

karta hai tu sab se bhalai

kya kahna hai tera bhai

jab se main ne hosh sanbhaala

dekha sab mein tera ujala

din-bhar dharti chamkata hai

raat ko tu kyon chhup jata hai

ye sab sun kar suraj bola

bhed apna zarron par khola

kaha suno ab batlata hun

raat ko main kyon chhup jata hun

log hain din-bhar mehnat karte

miTTi Dhote pani bharte

kheti karte Dhor charaate

paDhte likhte daftar jate

kaam kisi ka hai mazduri

mehnat kar ke puri puri

sare din ke kaam ke mare

thak jate hain sab bechaare

dekh ke un ki utri surat

uD jati hai meri rangat

rahm hai mujh ko un par aata

bas jhaT-paT hun main chhup jata

chhup jata hai munh jab mera

chha jata hai phir to andhera

chhoD ke apne kaam ko sare

so jate hain panw pasare
