Kaali Raatیں

Raatan ne kaaliyan, akhan vich noor,

Lokaan di bheed vich, turre asi door…

Jo dil te likheya, oh mitda ni,

Naam saada hawa de naal rukda ni.

Chup reh ke duniya nu dekheya bada,

Kaun apna, kaun paraya samjheya bada.

Jinna nu lagda si asi haar jaavange,

Ohna nu vi ik din yaad aavange.

Na kise kolon mangi, na kise kolon layi,

Jo vi mili ae, apni mehnat naal kamayi.

Dil vich agg ae, chehre te sukoon,

Sadde varga ban’na nahi har kise da junoon.

Kehnda reh duniya, asi rukde nahi,

Toofan aavan bhaavein, asi jhukde nahi.

Jithe khad jaaiye, othe gall ban jaave,

Sadda naam sun ke, hawa vi badal jaave.

Kujh vairi mile, kujh yaar badal gaye,

Jadon aukha time aaya, saare rang badal gaye.

Par asi apni chaal kade chhaddi nahi,

Dil di awaaz kade dabbi nahi.

Ajj thoda kalla, kal poora jahaan,

Rab te yakeen te apne te maan.

Jinna ne sanu thalle laun di kiti koshish,

Ohna ton vi uchi saddi ajj soch ae.

Kehnda reh duniya, asi rukde nahi,

Toofan aavan bhaavein, asi jhukde nahi.

Jithe khad jaaiye, othe gall ban jaave,

Sadda naam sun ke, hawa vi badal jaave.

Kalle si turre, kalle hi chalange,

Jadon tak saah ne, supne vi palange.

Kal di fikar nahi, ajj te yakeen,

Saddi kahaani likhni ae hor vi haseen.

Kehnda reh duniya, asi rukde nahi,

Dil de raaje aan, kise agge jhukde nahi.

Raat bhaavein lambi, savera zaroor aave,

Jis din naam chamke—

duniya yaad rakhe jaave.

Naam… apne dum te.

Gall… apne waqt te.

Hun kahaani… baaki ae.
