murda ghar main saari lashein ek si thein
saari maayein, maaoN jaisi
sare bachche, bachchoN jaise
wo hi do be-noor aankhein, mere jaisi
wo hi do bejaan taangein, tere jaisi
zakhm neele-peele hlake gahre sab ke
saare bad-qismat the, chehre ek rab ke
chotiyoN main,
daarhiyoN main,
bindiyoN main,
naaf se neeche ki gandi jhariyoN main
zindagi ko, jis tarah tukroN main bata ja raha tha
maut ko bhi zaat aur dharmoN se, chaanta ja raha tha
raam the,isa the ya rahmaan the wo
mere maatam main magar jitne bhi the, insaan the wo
toota phoota mera hindustaan the wo
