ye tan jo hai har ik ke utare ka jhonpada
is se hai ab bhi sab ke sahare ka jhonpada
is se hai badshah ke nazare ka jhonpada
is men hi hai faqir bichare ka jhonpada
apna na mol ka na ijare ka jhonpada
baaba ye tan hai dam ke guzare ka jhonpada
is men hi bhole-bhale isi men siyane hain
is men hi hoshiyar isi men divane hain
is men hi dushman is men hi apne begane hain
sha-jhonpada bhi apne isi men namane hain
apna na mol hai na ijare ka jhonpada
baaba ye tan hai dam ke guzare ka jhonpada
is men hi log ishq-o-mohabbat ke maare hain
is men hi shokh husn ke chand aur sitare hain
is men hi yar-dost isi men piyare hain
sha-jhonpada bhi apne isi men bichare hain
apna na mol hai na ijare ka jhonpada
baaba ye tan hai dam ke guzare ka jhonpada
is men hi ahl-e-daulat-o-munim amiir hain
is men hi rahte saare jahan ke faqir hain
is men hi shaah aur isi men vazir hain
is men hi hain saghir isi men kabir hain
itna na mol ka na ijare ka jhonpada
baaba ye tan hai dam ke guzare ka jhonpada
is men hi chor-thag hain isi men amol hain
is men hi roni shakl isi men thithol hain
is men hi baaje aur naqare-o-dhol hain
sha-jhonpada bhi is men hi karte kalol hain
itna na mol ka na ijare ka jhonpada
baaba ye tan hai dam ke guzare ka jhonpada
is men hi parsa hain isi men tavand hain
bedard bhi isi men hai aur dardmand hain
is men hi sab parand isi men charand hain
sha-jhonpada bhi ab isi dar be band hain
itna na mol ka na ijare ka jhonpada
baaba ye tan hai dam ke guzare ka jhonpada
is jhonpade men rahte hain sab shaah aur vazir
is men vakil bakhshi o mutasaddi aur amiir
is men hi sab gharib hain is men hi sab faqir
sha-jhonpada jo kahte hain sach hai miyan ‘nazir’
itna na mol ka na ijare ka jhonpada
baaba ye tan hai dam ke guzare ka jhonpada
