MaaN tumne hameiN kyuN baDa kiya

kaaghaz bheeg chala hai tumheiN yaad karte likhte
maaN tumne hameiN kyuN baDa kiya

ek taweel arse tak mujhe apne jism meiN rakha
duniya meiN laake aankhoN ke telsim meiN rakha

meri neeNdoN pe jaagkar tune raateiN guzar diN
sabaq duhra duhra ke hamari baateiN saNwaar diN

apni zaat se baDkar hamko nashwo-numa di
khuda tune bachhoN ko kaisi rahnuma di

hamare rone pe roi aur haNsne pe muskrai
maaN tune har ghaDi hampe hi gaNwai

hameiN kyuN itna pyar kiya koi ummeed na lagayee
kya sirf hameiN banane tu is duniya meiN laayee

dheere dheere maaN ham baDe ho gaye hein
tera daamaN pakaD pakaD ke khaDe ho gaye heiN

maaN hamara dil chahta hai teri khidmat kareiN
tune umr gaNwai hai,ham kuchh to zahmat kareiN

meri pyas bujhane tune safa-marwa ke chakkar lagaye
kaise bhookhe pyase qadam us pahaDi pe uthaye

maaN ab meiN baDa ho gaya hooN,per tum nahiN ho
meiN tumhare paaNv dabana chahta hooN, per tum nahiN ho
apni kamai tere haath pe rakhna chahta hooN, per tum nahiN ho
tumheiN apni nazar se duniya dikhana chahta hooN per tum nahiN ho
tumhare daaman meiN khushiyaN laana chahta hooN per tum nahiN ho

jaate waqt bhi tum hameiN yaad karti rahiN
khud pe kam hampe zyada marti rahiN

tum kitni door ho mujhko bata'ogi
kya mujhse milne raat ko khwab meiN aa'ogi

maaN maut se ab mujhe dar nahiN lagta
tere baghair ab ye ghar ghar nahiN lagta

meiN tujhse mile baghair rah nahi sakta
afsos baghair hukm ke koi mar nahi sakta

itni door laake mujhse kyuN khadaa kiya
maaN tumne mujhe kyuN baDa kiya.
