Koi veerani si veerani hai..

Koi veerani si veerani hai,

Dasht* ko dekh ke ghar yad aya..

(Dasht;desert)

Tum laut aao to bahaar aaye..

Tum laut aao to,

Bahaar aaye,

Sadiyon se chala ho jo musafir,

Nangey paaon,

Pathreeli rait per,

Dikhe jese phir koi saaya daar darakht,

Yun mujhko jese qaraar aye,

Tum laut aao to,

Bahaar aaye,

Mujhe to kuch yaad nahi rehta,

Tumhe sab yaad rehta tha,

Mujhe kab kis se milna hai,

Kahan kab baat karni hai,

Kahan chup chaap sa rehna hai,

Shor hota tha intihaa ka,

Tumhe kese maloom parrta tha,

Subah jab darwazey pe

Akhbaar aye,

Tum choottay ho,

To sabhi kaam thhap huye hain,

Sabhi cheezein wahin rakhi hain,

Mujhe kuch bhi karna,

Be’maani sa lagta hai,

Sabhi halaat,

Sabhi jazbaat,

Tumhi pe sarff kiye hain,

Mujhe kuch aur chaahna nahi aya,

Halka sa bhi jo kabhi

Khud pe ikhteyaar aye,

Maut qareeb ho jese,

Khonay ko ab kuch bhi nahi baaki,

Phir bhi kyun ese lagta hai,

Tum laut aao to,

Bahaar aaye..

Tum laut aao to,

Bahaar aaye..

Jo bhi aya mujhe thokar se nawaaza us ne..

Jo bhi aya mujhe thokar se nawaaza us ne,

Mein to pathar tha mujhe koi uthaata kese..

Yoon tassali de rahe hain hum dil-e-beemar ko..

Yoon tassali de rahe hain hum dil-e-beemar ko,

Jiss tarah thaamey koi girti hui deewaar ko..

Khamoshi se adaa ho rasm-e-doori..

Khamoshi se adaa ho rasm-e-doori,

Koi hungama barpaa kyun karen hum..

Tum hanso to din, Chup raho to raatain hain..

Tum hanso to din, Chup raho to raatain hain,

Kis ka gham, kahan ka gham, sab fazool batain hain..

Wafaa main ab yeh hunar iktiyaar karna hai..

Wafaa main ab yeh hunar iktiyaar karna hai,

Woh sach kahe na kahe aitbaar karna hai,

Yeh tujh ko jaagtey rehne ka shauq kab se hua,

Mujhe to kher tera intizaar karna hai..

Aaj mujh ko bohat buraa keh kar..

Aaj mujh ko bohat buraa keh kar,

Aap ne aakhir naam to liya mera..

Lo chali laadli apni pii ki gali

Lo chali laadli apni pii ki gali

Surkh jode mein lagti hai kitni bhali

Hai kisi ke liye yeh Milan ki ghadi,

To kisi ke liye hai judaai badi,

Lo chali laadli apni pii ki gali……………..

Dhol bajte hain bajti hain shehnaiyaaN,

Kal se gujengi is ghar mein tanhaiyaaN,

Hai bidaai ki rasmon se majboor maa’N,

Kab rahi hai piyar mein sada betiyaaN,

Hoke rehti hai juda shaakh se har kali..

Lo chali laadli apni pii ki gali………………..

Badke baabul ko apane lagaalo gale,

Kal se ho jayeenge kitne hi faasale,

Sang bhai behan hain tumhare pale,

Aao inko basaa lo tum palkon tale,

Ho rahi hai dilon mein ajab khalbali,

Lo chali laadli apni pii ki gali…………..

Bhul jana na hum ko ae pyari sakhi,

Jaake pii ke nagar  yaad karna kabhi,

Woh bachpan ki yaadein  bichdi hui,

Haath apne pasaare hain aaj khadi,

Ashk ki aaj shamma hansi par jali

Lo chali laadli apni pii ki gali…………..

Shor machne laga  lo chali  paalki,

Ab  hui  jaati hai beti  sasuraal ki,

Kya misaal main dun baap ke haal ki,

Kya sunaun baat maa ke malaal ki,

Rote Rote kaha alvidaa laadali,

Lo chali laadli apni pii ki gal..........

Surkh jode mein lagti hai kitni bhali......

Lo chali laadli apni pii ki gali…………..

Lo chali laadli apni pii ki gali…………..
