vah bahut udaas-see shaam thee
jab main us stree se milaa

mainne kahaa - main tumase prem karataa hoon
phir sochaa - yah kahanaa kitanaa naakaaph़ee hai
..

vo havaa vaheen Thaharee hai abhee tak
aur chhootee hai roj
lagabhag rok letee huee see
jab gujarane lagataa hoo(n) vahaa(n) se
jahaa(n) us din gujarate phon aa gayaa thaa tumhaaraa
aur thoḌee der ke lie aas paas
champaa ke phool khil aaye the
..

chhoTee see duniyaa
kitane saare log
raj tam sat kaa
vibhinn sanyog.
sahooliyat ke hisaab se
baa(n)T liyaa,
kitane naamon se
pukaar liyaa,
maanyataaon aur paramparaaon men
jakaḌ liyaa.
kisee ne kahaa-
too hai
kisee ne kahaa-
too naheen hai
