Sapan jhare phul se, mit chubhe shul se
Lut gaye singaar sabhee, bag ke baabul se
Aur ham khade khade, bahaar dekhate rahe
Kaarvaan gujar gaya, gubar dekhate rahe
Nind bhee khulee naa thee, ke hai dhup dhal gayee
Paanv jab talak uthe, ke jindagee phisal gayee
Pat pat jhar gaye, shaakh shaakh jal gayee
Git ashk ban gaye, svapn ho dafan gaye
Saath ke sabhee die, dhuan pahan pahan gaye
Aur ham jhuke jhuke, mod par ruke ruke
Umr ke chadhav kaa, utar dekhate rahe
Karavaan gujar gaya, gubar dekhate rahe
Kya shabaab tha ke phul phul pyaar kar utha
Kya kamaal tha ke dekh, aaina sahar utha
Iss taraf jamin aur aasman udhar utha
Tham kar jigar utha, ke jo mila najar utha
Ek din magar yahaan, aisee kuchh hava chalee
Lut gayee kalee kalee, ghut gayee galee galee
Aur ham lute lute, vakt se pite pite
Saj kee sharaab kaa, kumar dekhate rahe
Kaarvaan gujar gaya, gubar dekhate rahe
Haath the mile ke julf chaand kee sanvaar du
Honth the khule ke har bahaar ko pukaar du
Dard tha diya gaya ke har dukhee ko pyaar du
Aur sans yun ke svarg, bhumee par utar du
Ho saka naa kuchh magar, shaam ban gayee sahar
Woh uthee lahar ke dhai, gaye kile bikhar bikhar
Aur ham dare dare, nir nain menbhare
Odhkar kafan pade, majar dekhate rahe
Kaarvaan gujar gaya, gubar dekhate rahe
Maang bhar chalee ke ek jab nayee nayee kiran
Dholake dhunak uthee, dhumak uthe charan charan
Shor mach gaya ke lo, chalee dulhan chalee dulhan
Gaanv sab umad pada, bahak uthe nayan nayan
Par tabhee jahar bharee gaj ek vah giree
Puchh gaya sindur tar tar hui chunaree
Aur ham ajaan se dur ke makaan se
Palkee liye huye kahar dekhate rahe
Kaarvaan gujar gaya, gubar dekhate rahe
