Swapno nu shaher

Bas ek shaant nagar shodhu chu - kya malshe?
Swapno nu ek shaher shodhu chu - Kya malshe?
..............
Je malvanu nathi kyarey ahi,
ene melavavaa roj dodu chu,
Swapno ma kaik mahelo banavu,
Ne badha jaate j roj todu chu,
Bas ek j mukt saher* shodhu chu - kya malshe?
Swapno nu ek shaher shodhu chu - kya malshe?
.............
Ghadiyaal na kaanta joine jivu chu,
Ne em j chaaltu yantra^ thayo chu,
Bheed ma rahi ne pan eklo chalu chu,
Ne Pattharo ma rahi patthar thyo chu,
Prem bhari ek hum-safar shodhu chu - kya malshe?
Swapno nu ek shaher shodhu chu - kya malshe?
.............
Ahi shanti ma pan bahu ghonghaat che,

Ane ajampa** bhari har ek Khushi che,

Footpath par rahi ne loko hasi shake che,

Ane Mahelo ma rahene pan sau dukhi che,

Jethi sau maanas bane, te asar shodhu chu - Kya malse?

Sau bhega rahi shake, e shaher shodhu chu - Kya malse?
