Zindagi ke veerane main ek saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Is banjar mae-khaane main kyon saaqi dhundh raha hoon maen,
Mila hazaaron logo se is jeevan main per,
Phir bhi ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Phir bhi ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen…
Haen bhare huye shubh-chintak mere is duniya main,
Haen bhare huye shubh-chintak mere is duniya main,
Jo de saath andhere main, woh ek saya dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Aise ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Aise ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen…
Bhara hua hae daaman mera khushiyon se aaj,
Bhara hua hae daaman mera khushiyon se aaj,
Ho jo mere dukh ka saathi, usko dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Aise ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen,
Aise ek anjaana saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen…
Jo kare hifazat meri hargiz halaat ki aandhi se,
Aisa ek hamdard – humpyaala dhundh raha hoon maen,
Is banjar mae-khaane main aisa saaqi dhundh raha hoon maen,
Jeevan ke veerane main aisa ek saathi dhoondh raha hoon maen…
