aankhon mein jal rahaa hai kyuun bujhataa nahin dhuuan
uThataa to hai ghaTaa saa barasataa nahin dhuaan

chuulhaa nahin jalaaye yaa basti hi jal ga_ii

aankhon se ponchane se lagaa aanch kaa pataa
yuun cheharaa pher lene se chhupata nahin dhuaan

aankhon se aansuon ke maraasim puraane hain
mehamaan ye ghar men aayen to chubhataa nahin dhuaan
