Mout ki lori use ran me qaza deti hai

Aur maa khaimon me jeene ki dua deti hai

Che mahine ka gala aur seh pehlu paikaa’n

Jaane kis jurm ki ummat ye saza deti hai

Ye hawa hai jo samajhti hai tamanna maa ki

Khaali jhoola ali asghar ka jhula deti hai

Yaad maa ko jo sataati hai ali asghar ki

Aah ek bharti hai aur khaak udaa deti hai

Dekh kar jalta hua jhoola ye kehti thi rabab

Kaisi ummat hai nishani bhi jala deti hai

Maamta ko ye tasalli bhi hai bas zindaa’n talak

Maa jo pehlu me sakina ko sulaa deti hai

Ek toh neend hee aati nahi maa ko asghar

Is pe soye toh teri yaad jagaa deti hai

Sham ki aurten karti thi’n ye abid se sawaal

Dhoop me koun hai ye kisko sada deti hai

Raat hoti hai toh zindaan me maadar Akbar

Loriyo’n ki jagah ek nauha sunaa deti hai
