Ped Main Aur Sab

peḌ naheen hain, uThee huee
dharatee kee baahen hain
tere mere lie maa(n)gatee
roj duaae(n) hain.
         peḌ naheen hain ye dharatee kee
         khulee nigaahen hain
         tere mere lie niraapad
         karatee raahe hain.
peḌ naheen ye panapee dharatee
gaahe gaahe hain
tere mere jee lene kee
vividh vidhaae(n) hain.
         peḌ naheen ye dharatee ne
         yatn juTaae hain
         tere mere liai khushee ke
         ratn luTaaye hain.
peḌ naheen ye dharatee ne
chitr banaae hain
tere mere lie anekon
mitr juTaae hain.
         peḌ naheen ye dharatee ne
         cha(n)var Dulaae hain.
         tere mere liai chhaa(n)h ke
         gagan chhavaae hain.
peḌ naheen ye dharatee ne
alakh jagaae hain
tere mere 'Dhoo(n)Dh' ke
jatan jataae hain.
         peḌ naheen hai astitvon ke
         beej bijaae hain
         tere mere jeene ke
         vishvaas juḌaae hain.
