aabaadee se door,
ghane sannaaTe men,
nirjan van ke peechhe vaalee,
oo(n)chee ek pahaaḌee par,
ek sunaharee see gauraiyaa,
apane pankhon ko phailaakar,
gumasum baiThee soch rahee thee,
kal phir main uḌ jaaoo(n)gee,
paar karoo(n)gee is jangal ko.
vahaa(n) door jo mahake jal kee,
sheetal ek talaiyaa hai,
usakaa thoḌaa paanee peekar,
pashchim ko muḌ jaaoo(n)gee,
phir vaapas naa aaoo(n)gee,
lekin parvat yaheen rahegaa,
mere saare sangee saathee,
patte shaakhen aur gilaharee,
miTTee kee yah sondhee khushaboo,
chhoḌ jaaoo(n)gee apane peechhe ....,
kyon n is oo(n)che parvat ko,
apane saath uḌaa le jaaoo(n).
aur chonch men miTTee bharakar,
thoḌee door uḌee phir vaapas,
aa Teele par baiTh gaee ......
ham bhee uḌane kee chaahat men,
kitanaa kuchh taj aae hain,
yaadon kee miTTee se aakhir,
kab tak dil bahalaae(n)ge,
vah din aaegaa jab vaapas,
phir parvat ko jaae(n)ge,
aabaadee se door,
ghane sannaaTe men.
