Kahi chhat thi deewaar o dar the kahi

Kahi chhat thi deewaar o dar the kahi

Kahi chhat thi deewaar o dar the kahi

Mila mujhko ghar ka pata der se

Diya to bahut zindagi ne mujhe

Magar jo diya wo diya der se



Hua na koi kaam mamul se

Guzre shab o roz kuchh is tarah

Kabhi chaand chamka galat waqt par

Kabhi ghar mein sooraj uga der se

[mamuul=custom/practice]



Kabhi ruk gaye raah mein be sabab

Kabhi waqt se pahle ghir aai shab

Huye band darwaaze khul khul ke sab

Jahan bhi gaya main gaya der se



Ye sab ittifaak ka khel hai

Yahi hai judaai yahi mel hai

Main mud mud ke dekha kiya door tak

Bani wo khaamoshi sada der se



Saja din bhi roshan huyi raat bhi

Bhare jaam lahraai barsaat bhi

Rahe saath kuchh aise haalat bhi

Jo hona tha jaldi hua der se



Bhatakti rahi yun hi har bandagi

Mili na kahin se koi roshni

Chupa tha kahin bheed mein aadami

Hua mujh mein roshan khuda der se
