n jaane kyaa laachaaree hai
aaj man bhaaree-bhaaree hai

           hRday se kahataa hoo(n) kuchh gaa
           praaN kee peeḌit been bajaa
           pyaas kee baat n mu(n)h par laa

yahaa(n) to saagar khaaree hai
n jaane kyaa laachaaree hai
aaj man bhaaree-bhaaree hai

           surabhi ke svaamee phoolon par
           chaḌhaye mainne jab kuchh svar
           lage ve kahane murajhaakar

zindagee ek khumaaree hai
n jaane kyaa laachaaree hai
aaj man bhaaree-bhaaree hai

           naheen hai sudhi mujhako tan kee
           vyarth hai mujhako chumban bhee
           ajab haalat hai jeevan kee

mujhe behoshee pyaaree hai
n jaane kyaa laachaaree hai
aaj man bhaaree-bhaaree hai

'Chhaataa'
Prem Ranjan Animesh

jinake sir Dha(n)kane ke lie
chhaten hotee hain
vahee rakhate hain chhaate

is shahar ke logon ke paas
jo chhaataa hai

barasaat men kaam aate hain
aur akasar
