ek tannha raaj hai rehta kaha pe

jo pyar mila hai mujhe yahan se,
woh mila nahi kabhi kahi se,

koi dost bankar saath nibhata hai,
koi yahan bhi dushmani dikhaata hai,

koi pyaar se haath badhata hai,
to koi gusse se chird jata hai,

yahan ki shayri bahut khoob hoti hai,
pardhne wale ki aankhe tarasti hai,

koi hansta hai baar baar yaha par,
koi apne ghumon ko gungunata hai

koi roz roz aata hai,
koi kabhi kabhi muh dikhata hai,

koi dard se ubb jaata hai,
to koi hans ke lot-pot ho jaata hai.

aate rahna aap log hamesha yahan pe,
kahi chord na jaana akela yahan pe,

ek tannha raaj hai rehta kaha pe.
