dukh detee hai ghadee
baitha tha modhe par
leta hua jaade kee dhoop ka ras
ki vahaan mej par nagee cheekhane lagee
jaldee karo, jaldee karo
chhoot jaayegee bas
girane lagee peeth par
samay kee chhadee
dukh detee hai ghadee.
jaanatee hoon ek din
yadi daal bhee aaoon
use kuen mein oobakar
lautakar paoonga
usee tarah durdam kathor
ek tik tik tik tik se
bhara hai saara ghar
chhodegee nahin
ab kabhee yah peechha
aisee munhalagee hai
itanee sir chadhee hai
dukh detee hai ghadee.
chhoone mein dar hai
uthaane mein dar hai
baandhane mein dar hai
kholane mein dar hai
padee hai kalaee mein
ajab hathakadee
dukh detee hai ghadee.
