LOG AAPAS MEI'N KAL TAK MILTE JULTE THEY,
BAND DARICHEY AUR DARWAAZE KHULTE THEY,
BE MAUSAM BARSAAT DILO'N MEI'N HOTI THI,
AAENE BHI GHAR KE AKSAR DHALTE THEY,
GOTH MEI'N LEKAR AAYA MAA BAHLAATI THII,
RANG IMAARAT KE GHURBAT MEI'N GHULTE THEY,
YAAD TO HOGA APNA BACHPAN TUM KO BHI,
TUM PHOOLO'N MEI'N HAM KAA'NTO'N MEI'N TALTE THEY,
TEZ HAWA KA JHO'NKA KHAAK URHAATA THAA,
DEKHA DEKHI HAM BHI SAATH MEI'N RULTE THEY,
AAJ BHI ANDER KA YEH BACHCHA HAIRA'N HAI,
PEER, JAWA'N SAB US KOOCHEY KYU'N DHULTE THEY,
KAL TAK "KHUSRO"DIL PARHNE MEI'N LAGTA THAA,
HAM PER BHI KUCHH CHEHRE KITAABI KHILTE HAI'N.
