Dilli jo Bharat da dil hai
jis baajhoN Bharat na naqsha
chitav sakna vi mushqil hai
kinnay lakh dilaaN di dhaRkan
Dilli, ajj aapay bay-dil hai
khoon naal labrez hawawaaN
apni aap kahani dassan
ehdiyaaN galiyaaN,koochey,raahwaaN
har ghar day maThey tay likheya
qatil nay apna sirnawaaN
kadaey aapna kadey paraya
is di asmat luttan khatir
sau sau bhes badal kay aaya
"eti maar payi kurlaanaiN
taiN ki dard na aaya??"
maali hi jad baagh ujaaRey
jaaneiN na phullaaN di bhaasha
na samjhey kaliyaaN day isharey
kaun suneiN koyel diyaaN kookaaN
kaun suneiN bulbul dey haaRhey!!
kiThey aa itihaas khaloyea
es shehar ney aapna murda
aapney hi moDhey tay Dhoyea
maanavta dey maThey laggeya
daagh eh jaana kadey na dhoyea
