Karvan guzar gaya
Swapna-Jhare Phool Se, Meet-Chubhe Shool Se
Lut Gaye Singaar Sabhi Baag Ke Babool Se
Aur Hum Khade-Khade Bahaar Dekhte Rahe
Karvan Guzar Gaya, Gubar Dekhte Rahe
Neend Bhi Khuli Na Thi Ki Hai Dhoop Dhal Gayi
Paon Jab Talak Uthe Ki Zindagi Fisal Gayi
Paat-Paat Jhar Gaye Ki Shaakh-Shaakh Jal Gayi
Chah To Nikal Saki Na Par Umar Nikal Gayi
Geet Ashk Ban Gaye, Chhand Ho Dafan Gaye
Saath Ke Sabhi Diye Dhuan-Dhuan Pehen Gaye
Aur Hum Jhuke-Jhuke, Mod Par Ruke-Ruke
Umar Ke Chadhaav Ka Utaar Dekhte Rahe
Karvan Guzar Gaya, Gubar Dekhte Rahe!
Kya Shabaab Tha Ki Phool-Phool Pyar Kar Utha
Kya Suroop Tha Ki Dekh Aina Sihar Utha
Is Taraf Zameen Aur Asmaan Udhar Utha
Thaam Kar Jigar Utha Ki Jo Mila Nazar Utha
Ek Din Magar Yahan, Aisee Kuchh Hawa Chali
Lut Gayi Kali-Kali Ki Ghut Gayi Gali-Gali
Aur Hum Lute-Lute, Waqt Se Pite-Pite
Saans Ki Sharaab Ka Khumaar Dekhte Rahe
Karvan Guzar Gaya, Gubar Dekhte Rahe!
Haath The Mile Ki Zulf Chaand Ki Sanwaar Doon
Honth The Khule Ki Har Bahaar Ko Pukaar Doon
Dard Tha Diya Gaya Ki Har Dukhi Ko Pyar Doon
Aur Saand Yoon Ki Swarg Bhoomi Par Utaar Doon
Ho Saka Na Kuchh Magar, Shaam Ban Gayi Seher
Woh Uthi Lehar Ki Dheh Gaye Kile Bikhar-Bikhar
Aur Ham Dare-Dare, Neer Nayan Mein Bhare
Odh-Kar Kafan Pade Mazaar Dekhte Rahe
Karvan Guzar Gaya, Gubar Dekhte Rahe!
Maang Bhar Chali Ki Ek Jab Nayi-Nayi Kiran
Dholke Dhunuk Uthi, Thumuk Uthe Charan-Charan
Shor Mach Gaya Ki Lo Chali Dulhan, Chali Dulhan
Gaaon Sab Umad Pada, Behek Uthe Nayan-Nayan
Par Tabhi Zehar Bhari, Gaaz Ek Woh Giri
Punchh Gaya Sindoor, Taar-Taar Hui Choonri
Aur Ham Ajaan Se, Door Ke Makaan Se
Palki Kiye Hue Kahar Dekhte Rahe!
Karvan Guzar Gaya, Gubar Dekhte Rahe!!
