Har aik darakhtt hai jharrna meri jaan..

Har aik darakhtt hai jharrna meri jaan,
Issey kehte hain ujarrna meri jaan,

Kesa lagta hai sawarney ke liye,
Baaz aukaat bigarrna meri jaan,

Teri aamad ka pata deta hai,
Saans ka aese ukharrna meri jaan,

Roshni apni jagha ghairti hai,
Tum hawaaon se na larrna meri jaan,

Hum nahin hon ge to peyshaani* koi,
Kissi pathar pe ragarrna meri jaan,

Tere milne se khulaa hai mujh per,
Kitna mushkil hai bicharrna meri jaan,

Asmaan khaak huye hain pal main,
Kya zameenon pe akarrna meri jaan..
