ye daulat bhi le lo, ye shoHrat bhi le lo

 ye daulat bhi le lo, ye shoHrat bhi le lo
     bhale cheen lo muJhse meri jawaani
     magar muJhko lauta do bachchpan ka saawan
     wo kaagaz ki kasthi wo baarish ka paani

     mohalle ki sabse nishaani purani
     wo buDhiya jise bachche kehte the naani
     wo naani kee baatoN mein pariYoN ka DeRa
     wo chehre ke JhuriYoN meiN sadiYoN ka phera
     bhulaaYe nahiN bhool saqta hai koi
     wo choti see raateN wo lambi kahaaNi

     kaDi dhooP meiN apne ghar se nikalna
     wo chiDiya wo bulbul wo thithli pakaDna
     wo guDiya ki shaadi pe laDna jHagaDna
     wo JhooloN se girna, wo giR ke sambhalNa
     wo pithal ke challoN ke pyaare se tho'fe
     wo TuTi hui chudiYoN ki nishaani

     kabhi re't ke ooNche Tilon pe jaana
     gharOnde banana, banaake miTaana
     wo maasoom chaahat ki tasveer apni
     wo khwaboN khiloNo ki taabir jaageer apni
     na duniYa ka gham tha na rishtoN ke bandhan
     baDi khoobsoorat thi wo zindgaani
