Darakht lagane nahi dete, phool khilne nahi dete,

Darakht lagane nahi dete,
phool khilne nahi dete,

ye sheher ke log,
kabhi muskurane nahi dete,

hai ragoun mein khooun afaid,
rang jamane nahi dete,

apne ho jayein paraye,
gair bhulane nahi dete,

rahe sauteli ma sa mausam,
bahar ane nahi dete,

ummid toot toot jaye,
andeshe azmane nahi dete,

andhere muqaddar ke bade,
chirag jalane nahi dete,

bad mayoos hai ye dil,
gam mitane nahi dete,

khojun hathoun pe lakeerein,
sitare ishare nahi dete,

niklun sehra ki taraf,
hosle jane nahi dete
