miTTī ke khilaune bhī saste na the mele meñ

ghar lauT ke roenge man bap akele mein

aaj apne saath apnā janam din manāyā hai

man ki dua na bap ki shafqat ka saya hai

aaj apne sath apna janam din manaya hai

beTiyāñ baap kī āñkhoñ meñ chhupe ḳhvāb ko pahchāntī haiñ

aur koī dūsrā is ḳhvāb ko paḌh le to burā māntī haiñ

beTiyan bap ki aankhon mein chhupe KHwab ko pahchanti hain

aur koi dusra is KHwab ko paDh le to bura manti hain

mujh ko chhāñv meñ rakhā aur ḳhud bhī vo jaltā rahā

maiñ ne dekhā ik farishta baap kī parchhā.īñ meñ

mujh ko chhanw mein rakha aur KHud bhi wo jalta raha

main ne dekha ek farishta bap ki parchhain mein

un ke hone se baḳht hote haiñ

baap ghar ke daraḳht hote haiñ

un ke hone se baKHt hote hain

bap ghar ke daraKHt hote hain

mujh ko thakne nahīñ detā ye zarūrat kā pahāḌ

mere bachche mujhe būḌhā nahīñ hone dete

mujh ko thakne nahin deta ye zarurat ka pahaD

mere bachche mujhe buDha nahin hone dete

azīz-tar mujhe rakhtā hai vo rag-e-jāñ se

ye baat sach hai mirā baap kam nahīñ maañ se

aziz-tar mujhe rakhta hai wo rag-e-jaan se

ye baat sach hai mera bap kam nahin man se

bachche merī uñglī thāme dhīre dhīre chalte the

phir vo aage dauḌ ga.e maiñ tanhā pīchhe chhūT gayā

bachche meri ungli thame dhire dhire chalte the

phir wo aage dauD gae main tanha pichhe chhuT gaya

merā bhī ek baap thā achchhā sā ek baap

vo jis jagah pahuñch ke marā thā vahīñ huuñ maiñ

mera bhi ek bap tha achchha sa ek bap

wo jis jagah pahunch ke mara tha wahin hun main

jab bhī vālid kī jafā yaad aa.ī

apne daadā kī ḳhatā yaad aa.ī

jab bhi walid ki jafa yaad aai

apne dada ki KHata yaad aai

in kā uThnā nahīñ hai hashr se kam

ghar kī dīvār baap kā saayā

in ka uThna nahin hai hashr se kam

ghar ki diwar bap ka saya

vo peḌ jis kī chhāñv meñ kaTī thī umr gaañv meñ

maiñ chuum chuum thak gayā magar ye dil bharā nahīñ

wo peD jis ki chhanw mein kaTi thi umr ganw mein

haDDiyāñ baap kī guude se huī haiñ ḳhālī

kam se kam ab to ye beTe bhī kamāne lag jaa.eñ

haDDiyan bap ki gude se hui hain KHali

baap bojh Dhotā thā kyā jahez de paatā

is liye vo shahzādī aaj tak kuñvārī hai

bap bojh Dhota tha kya jahez de pata

is liye wo shahzadi aaj tak kunwari hai

sub.h savere nañge paañv ghaas pe chalnā aisā hai

jaise baap kā pahlā bosa qurbat jaise maaoñ kī

subh sawere nange panw ghas pe chalna aisa hai

jaise bap ka pahla bosa qurbat jaise maon ki

maiñ apne baap ke siine se phuul chuntā huuñ

so jab bhī saañs thamī baaġh meñ Tahal aayā

main apne bap ke sine se phul chunta hun

so jab bhi sans thami bagh mein Tahal aaya

maiñ ne hāthoñ se bujhā.ī hai dahaktī huī aag

apne bachche ke khilaune ko bachāne ke liye

main ne hathon se bujhai hai dahakti hui aag

apne bachche ke khilaune ko bachane ke liye

kis shafqat meñ guñdhe hue maulā maañ baap diye

kaisī pyārī rūhoñ ko merī aulād kiyā

kis shafqat mein gundhe hue maula man bap diye

kaisi pyari ruhon ko meri aulad kiya

baap kā hai faḳhr vo beTā ki rakhtā ho kamāl

dekh ā.īne ko farzand-e-rashīd-e-sañg hai

bap ka hai faKHr wo beTa ki rakhta ho kamal

dekh aaine ko farzand-e-rashid-e-sang hai
