Jeewan jewti jaag rahi hay chor bahaney, chor bahaney
tan man dhan ki bhaint charha dey, kiyu sapnoo.n k taane baaney

aay koun tujhey behlaaney, pohanchey koun tujhey samjhaaney
phir paya hay parem sudha nay, uljhaya hay parem katha nay

ik ghumsaan ka ran hay duniya, jaag sipahi
uth kar ik do haath dikha dey, dushman bhi johar pehchaney

aankhain khool k dekh jagat ko rang rang ki niyaari baatain
aik hi chand magar aata hay teri raatoo.n ko chamkaney

na-umeedi k aakash pe chamka hay aasha ka sitara
mandir main ik dewa udaasi sajh kar aai, naach dikhaney

sagar ultey, meena tooti, meh-khwaroo.n ki sangat chooti
dhondhna ab bekaar hay tera, khaali hain sarey meh-khaney

us k daman main so lehrain, aain jhakoley, jain jhakoley
haan keh kar phir jain pal main, koi maaney koi na maaney

dekh k nadi ab gadli hay, jaag k duniya hi badli hay
mouj ki rah sey naao hata ley, aay hain terey mehel ko dhaaney

parem ka saath hay dukha ka daaro, kaisa sukh ho paas nahi tu
aaney lagi gaiso ki khushbo, peeta hoon ras k paimaaney

mana dukh main khoya hoon, tum samjhey ho soya howa hoon
dharti ko aakash bana doo.n, aay ho tum kis ko jagaaney?
