dukh ke jangal mein phirte hain kab se mare mare log

dukh ke jañgal meñ phirte haiñ kab se maare maare log

jo hotā hai sah lete haiñ kaise haiñ bechāre log

jīvan jīvan ham ne jag meñ khel yahī hote dekhā

dhīre dhīre jiitī duniyā dhīre dhīre haare log

vaqt singhāsan par baiThā hai apne raag sunātā hai

sañgat dene ko paate haiñ sāñsoñ ke uktāre log

nekī ik din kaam aatī hai ham ko kyā samjhāte ho

ham ne be-bas marte dekhe kaise pyāre pyāre log

is nagrī meñ kyuuñ miltī hai roTī sapnoñ ke badle

jin kī nagrī hai vo jāneñ ham Thahre banjāre log

dukh ke jangal mein phirte hain kab se mare mare log

jo hota hai sah lete hain kaise hain bechaare log

jiwan jiwan hum ne jag mein khel yahi hote dekha

dhire dhire jiti duniya dhire dhire haare log

waqt singhasan par baiTha hai apne rag sunata hai

sangat dene ko pate hain sanson ke uktare log

neki ek din kaam aati hai hum ko kya samjhate ho

hum ne be-bas marte dekhe kaise pyare pyare log

is nagri mein kyun milti hai roTi sapnon ke badle

jin ki nagri hai wo jaanen hum Thahre banjare log
