aik larki jo darti te

aik larki jo darti te
barish say or bijli say
ghar ki jo shahzadi te
apna hukam chalati te

kyoun aik begana larka
us ko ghar chura laya
jaysay bagh may tahni say
torr kay koye phool chalay
phar wo anjana larka
kia janay gulshan kay reet
phool ky apnay poday may
kila kila sa rahta hay
meethi khushbu deta hay
chahay us ko lakh rako
pani kay aik bartan may


ab wo jab murja rahi hay
to wo anjana larka
ro raha hay soch raha hay
ye sb kaysa kissa hay
kyoun jewan ka hissa hay
