Mere ghar aayee yek nanhee paree

chaandanee ke haseen rath pe sawaar



us ke aane se mere aangan me

khil uthhe fool gunagunaayee bahaar

dekh kar us ko jee naheen bharataa

chaahe dekhoo use hajaar baar



maine poochhaa use ke kaun hain too

has ke bolee ke main hoo teraa pyaar

mai tere dil mein thee humeshaa se

ghar mein aayee hoo, aaj pahalee baar
