phulon mein vahi to phuul Thahraa — Gauhar Hoshiyarpuri

naav na Duubi dariyaa mein
naav mein dariyaa Duub gayaa

log kinaare aan lage
aur kinaara Duub gayaa

ujle maile pesh hue
jaise ham the pesh hue

lahja to badal chubhti hui baat se pahle
tiir aisaa to kuchh ho jise nakhchir bhi chaahe

qadam qadam koi saaya saa muttasil to rahe
saraab kaa ye sar-e-silsila daraaz to ho

kahaan vo zabt ke daave kahaan ye ham 'gauhar'
ki TuTte the na phir TuuT kar bikharte the

shaahraahein dafatan shoale ugalne lag gaiin
ghar ki jaanib chal paDaa hai shahr gheraa kar tamaam

kahaan milegi misaal meri sitamgari ki
ki main gulaabon ke zakhm kaanTon se si rahaa huun

main tujh se saath bhi to umar bhar kaa chaahtaa thaa
so ab tujh se gilaa bhi umar bhar kaa ho gayaa hai

hudud-e-shahr se baahar bhi bastiyaan phailin
simaT ke rah gae yuun jangalon ke ghere bhi

jangalon mein kahin kho jaanaa hai
jaanvar phir mujhe ho jaanaa hai

vo gali ham se chhuTti hi nahin
kyaa karein aas TuTti hi nahin
