Ho gaye jawaan bchay, Borhi ho rahi hay maa
Be chiragh aankho mein khuwab bo rahi hay maa

Roti apne hise ki de k apne bchon ko
Sabar ki rida orhay bhooki so rahi hay maa

Saans ki mariza hay phir bhi thande pani se
Kitni sakht sardi mein kapre dho rahi hay maa

Ghair ki shikayat par phir kisi shararat par
Maar kar mujhe khud hi ro rahi hay maa
