aut gai je dunia teri rabba!
bachpan ki si jiwan da ek supan suhaNa aaia
bagh husan wich supne jehe, phull jo nazrin aae
dat agammi, daradwand dil tain mildi aai
dunia teri nirali rabba!
gali teri dar hai tera changa
gham DiTTha, gham de mare dekhe
haal suN lai mera kannin rabba!
ishak wich dukkhan da jera changa
jad tun wassia dil wich aa ke, phir ki aap jaNaie
je tun prit da rog lagaia, uTTh jinde! phir taukhle kahde?
lakkh aDambar, lakkh jhamele dekhe
mahilan wale uchch-akashe dekhe
mela bharia, khel tamashe, jhurmaT har ek pase
saDa piar kaThor-dilan nun jekar bhanda nahin
shahu dariawe, beDi paindi, pattan dur duraDe
tere dar te han sawali rabba!
tun hain jiwan da sahaara, aawin!
