Main Dekhoo Jis Or

parem ne jogan muz ko banaayaa
tan ko foonkaa, man ko jalaayaa
parem ke dukh mein doob gayaa dil jaise jal mein gaagareeyaa
ro ro kar har dukh sahanaa hain
dukh sah sah kar choop rahanaa hain
kaise bataaoo, kaise bichhadee pee ke mukh se baasureeyaa
duniyaan kahatee muz ko deewaanee
koee naa samaze parem kee baanee
saajan saajan ratate ratate ab to ho gayee baawareeyaa
