badan se jaañ nikalnā chāhtī hai
balā us ghar se Talnā chāhtī hai

yūñhī ātish-fishāñ kab jāgte haiñ
zamīñ karvaT badalnā chāhtī hai

hudūd-e-sahn-e-gulshan se nikal kar
sabā galiyoñ meñ chalnā chāhtī hai

dhuāñ sā uTh rahā hai chaar jānib
koī sūrat nikalnā chāhtī hai

havāoñ meñ nahīñ quvvat numū kī
magar Tahnī to phalnā chāhtī hai

jo chehra hai vahāñ phūlī hai sarsoñ
zamīñ sonā ugalnā chāhtī hai

badan se jaan nikalna chahti hai
bala us ghar se Talna chahti hai

yunhi aatish-fishan kab jagte hain
zamin karwaT badalna chahti hai

hudud-e-sahn-e-gulshan se nikal kar
saba galiyon mein chalna chahti hai

dhuan sa uTh raha hai chaar jaanib
koi surat nikalna chahti hai

hawaon mein nahin quwwat numu ki
magar Tahni to phalna chahti hai

jo chehra hai wahan phuli hai sarson
zamin sona ugalna chahti hai
