Chandaa ko ḍhunḍhane sabhee

Chandaa ko ḍhunḍhane sabhee taare nikal paṛe
Galiyo mè vo nasib ke maare nikal paṛe

Unakee nazar kaa jis ne nazaaraa churaa liyaa
Unake dilò kaa jis ne sahaaraa churaa liyaa
Us chor ki talaash mè saare nikal paṛe

Gam kee adheree raat mè jalanaa paṛaa unhe
Phulo ke badale kààto pe chalanaa paṛaa unhe
Dharatee pe jab gagan ke dulaare nikal paṛe

Unakee pukaar sun ke ye dil ḍagamagaa gayaa
Ham ko bhi koi bichhaṛaa huaa yaad aa gayaa
Bhar aaee ààkh aàsu hamaare nikal paṛe
