nagarii merii kab tak yuu.N hii barabaad rahegii

bastii me.n Gariibo.n kii a.Ndhere kaa hai dukha.Daa
duniyaa .a
duniyaa yahii duniyaa hai to kyaa yaad rahegii
nagarii merii ...

kab hogaa saveraa
kab hogaa saveraa koii ai kaash bataa de
kis vaqt tak ai ghuumate aakaash bataa de
insaano.n par insaan kii bedaad rahegii

kahakaaro.n se kaliyo.n ke chaman guu.Nj rahaa hai
jharano.n ke madhur raag se ban guu.Nj rahaa hai
par meraa to, par meraa to
par meraa to fariyaad se man guu.Nj rahaa hai
par meraa to fariyaad se man guu.Nj rahaa hai
kab tak mere ho.nTho.n pe ye fariyaad rahegii
