Jalti bhujti dhoop me sard hawa me rehna seekh lia,
Us se bichar k hijr ka ik ik mosam sehna seekh lia
Sahil sahil takra k jab choor hue to hum ne b,
Darya ki lehron me lehrain ban kar behna seekh lia
Apna dukh bas apna hi dukh hota hai ye jan lia,
Apni aap se apni sari batain kehna seekh lia
Nai nawaili tanhai ki bahain dal k bahon me,
Rat gaye tak nehr kinaray baithay rehna seekh lia...
