kashti to apni KHud hi jala di basti hamari dariya kinare

kashtī to apnī ḳhud hī jalā dī bastī hamārī dariyā kināre

dariyā se pūchho ye raat ham ne kaise guzārī dariyā kināre

barfīlī rut ne jab bhī tumhārī miTTī kā dāna-pānī churāyā

dekho parindo rab ne tumhārī rozī utārī dariyā kināre

tum bhī musāfir kitne dilāvar ham bhī musāfir kaise shanāvar

āñdhī ke pīchhe jangal se naata dariyā se yaarī dariyā kināre

retī ke piile dāman pe ham bhī rang-e-hinā se bikhre paḌe haiñ

mauj-e-bahārāñ aa.egī kab tak terī savārī dariyā kināre

tamsīl samjho yā isti'āra itnā sā logo qissa hamārā

āñkhoñ meñ apnī phūloñ se chehre chehroñ kī kyārī dariyā kināre

kashti to apni KHud hi jala di basti hamari dariya kinare

dariya se puchho ye raat hum ne kaise guzari dariya kinare

barfili rut ne jab bhi tumhaari miTTi ka dana-pani churaya

dekho parindo rab ne tumhaari rozi utari dariya kinare

tum bhi musafir kitne dilawar hum bhi musafir kaise shanawar

aandhi ke pichhe jangal se nata dariya se yari dariya kinare

reti ke pile daman pe hum bhi rang-e-hina se bikhre paDe hain

mauj-e-bahaaran aaegi kab tak teri sawari dariya kinare

tamsil samjho ya isti'ara itna sa logo qissa hamara

aankhon mein apni phulon se chehre chehron ki kyari dariya kinare
