umr lambi to hai magar baba
umr lambī to hai magar baabā
saare manzar haiñ aañkh bhar baabā
zindagī jaan kā zarar baabā
kaise hogī guzar-basar baabā
aur āhista se guzar baabā
sāmne hai abhī safar baabā
tum bhī kab kā fasāna le baiThe
ab vo dīvār hai na dar baabā
bhūle-bisre zamāne yaad aa.e
jaane kyuuñ tum ko dekh kar baabā
haañ havelī thī ik sunā hai yahāñ
ab to baaqī haiñ bas khañDar baabā
raat kī aañkh DabDabā aa.ī
dāstāñ kar na muḳhtasar baabā
har taraf samt hī kā sahrā hai
bhaag kar jā.eñge kidhar baabā
us ko sāloñ se nāpnā kaisā
vo to hai sirf saañs bhar baabā
ho ga.ī raat apne ghar jaao
kyuuñ bhaTakte ho dar-ba-dar baabā
rāsta ye kahīñ nahīñ jaatā
aa ga.e tum idhar kidhar baabā
umr lambi to hai magar baba
sare manzar hain aankh bhar baba
zindagi jaan ka zarar baba
kaise hogi guzar-basar baba
aur aahista se guzar baba
samne hai abhi safar baba
tum bhi kab ka fasana le baiThe
ab wo diwar hai na dar baba
bhule-bisre zamane yaad aae
jaane kyun tum ko dekh kar baba
han haweli thi ek suna hai yahan
ab to baqi hain bas khanDar baba
raat ki aankh DabDaba aai
dastan kar na muKHtasar baba
har taraf samt hi ka sahra hai
bhag kar jaenge kidhar baba
us ko salon se napna kaisa
wo to hai sirf sans bhar baba
ho gai raat apne ghar jao
kyun bhaTakte ho dar-ba-dar baba
rasta ye kahin nahin jata
aa gae tum idhar kidhar baba
