Lehraati faslon ki tarah,
Basant ki ritu ki tarah,
Chandan si thandak liye-
Tu mere saamne he hai...
...

Aaj Shabdon ka mol kya hai..
Aaj rutbon ki baat kerte hain...
kuch sadkon pe aashiyan lagey jahan...
un kasbon ki baat kertey hain...
...

He has chosen his own way,
He has opened his arms for everyone,
All rhythms with dark nights have gone...
When he plays his music once.
...

ek hasil aur laga ke...
zindagi ko doguna kerte hain..
vo khamoshiyon ka chain chura ke..
shor sharaba kerte hain....
...

Aaj zindagi dhundhne nikla hun...
Fir nai duniya padhne nikla hun...
Sochta hun! hawa ka rukh dekh lun; ...
Main jaib mai aaftab liye nikla hun...
...

Tu aazad hai mere liye aaj bhi...
Tere pankh khule hue hain aaj bhi...
Tu udaan per hogi jub bhi mere saamne...
Mai saanth rahunga tere aaj bhi...
...

Us paar ka kinara,
Udaas hoker-
Is paar ke kinare se puchta hai.
Tu door se mere khwaab kuchalta hai.
...

Aasma saaf hai,
Sub her roz ki tarah kaam per hain...
Kuch adhpanpey phool bhi aaj khiley hain...
Muskuraatey dikhe hain.
...

Ek leher aai hai...
Sub doob nahi saktey usmain...
Per kuch log jo tairna jaantey hain...
Vo bhi doobney ko taiyaar hain..
