Jala daali zaalimo ne meri dukan,
Es se to acha tha jala dete mujh
Samait mera makaan.
Ab kahan se kama k khilaounga apne gharane ko,
Jab ghar main hi nahi hoga raashan o
Samaan.
Mera qasoor kya tha aey zalim jalane wale,
Na main hamla awar tha na wo mera mehman.
Meri zindagi bhar ki kamaai aik pal main jal gai,
Aur tum kehte ho sabar kr.. na ho halkaan?
