mera chann veer nahi aaya

mainu jaan bemaar dukhi nu chchadd ke tur gaye veer
dil mera paya dub dub jaanda ankhiyan de vich neer
tere baajon akbar veera ho gayiyaan dilgeer
haal mera ki puchchda e bari mar na jaawan akhir

udeekan raahwan vich behke
mera chann veer nahi aaya
gaya si aun da keh ke
mera chann veer nahi aaya

main te ethe kalli reh gayi disda jag hanera
shehar madina chchad ke laaya karbal jaake dera
akbar veer de baajon hun dil lagda nahi e mera
kyun na mere walle akbar mudke paaya phera

bibi sughra aakhe rabba kyun vichchoda paaya
raahwan vekhan roz udeekan yaadan bada sataaya
hun parchaayan parat de raahin bada main dil parchaaya
karbal vich ki hoya ohnu kyun nahi mud ke aaya

sughra aakhe joor balayin nane di tasveer diyan
ujde ghar vich sughra kardi roz udeekan veer diyan

bada puchcheya main raahiyan ton koi mainu nahi dasda
ohna baajon bhala kehda numaani es bebas da
karan main yaad reh rehke mera chann veer nahi aaya

mere veer nu aakhin qaasid teri bhain bulaandi
ik waari te mil jaa veera badiyan mintan paaundi
main ik reh gayi dukhan jogi sukh naal duniya saundi
aakhin veera akbar tayin sughra hosiyan paundi

naal chure na laike mainu badiyan sochan payiyaan
dardan waale wehde de vich main kalli reh gayiyaan
raunde kayi din lang gaye mainu kayi raatan lang gayiyaan
aaya ni tu akbar veera mud ke shaaman paiyan

karan main yaad reh reh ke
mera chann veer nahi aaya

mera ki bhaar si akbar je mainu naal lai jaandon
mainu vi haunsla rehnda je mere kol reh jaandon
gayi saan haar keh keh ke mera chann veer nahi aaya

kivein dil khalowe mera khwaab ni changa aaya
ik baal ni teer chamakda muh apne vich paaya
ik ghabru da seena tikhi barchi cheer vakhaaya
akbar veer aaja chcheti mera supne chain gawaaya

nane baagh de roze sughra deewe baal ke behndi e
lag lag naal kaza de bibi sughra ro ke kehndi e

aadar da ajj seene de vich phir ja waang kataari
shah hussain da zikr karendeya chekh kalam ne maari
sughra vich madine sayim inj kardi si zaari
hun te akbar veeran aaja tu jitteya main haari

gayi saan haar keh keh ke
mera chann veer nahi aaya

je mainu naal lai jaandon te asghar nu khadaundi main
chaawan de geet ga ga ke sakeena nu sawandi main
sunera sukhan da laike mera chann veer nahi aaya

sukh wasdeyan de agge karan tarle taras koi vi dukhi te khawanda nahi
din raat akalri rowandi haan koi aake dar wandaawda nahi
puch puch thakki haan raahiyan paandeyan nu koi gayan di gal sunaawda nahi
akbar keha si aawsan lain tainu hun lain kyun bhain nu aawnda nahi

sunera sukhan da laike
mera chann veer nahi aaya

tere baajon paye uthde ne kayi toofan seene vich
tussan karbal wasa layi e mainu chadd ke madine vich
meri jindri payi seh ke mera chann veer nahi aaya

aaja veeran aaja veeran kithe laa lai dere
raat ghaman di mukdi naahi tur gaye shaam sawere
baaj bhrawan kalli haan main kaun sune dukh mere

haawan maar ke royiyaan raahwan raundiyan si zanjeeran
kaidi hoke jad si turreya nabi diyan tasveerab
odar akbar te chal gayiyaan zulm diyan shamsheeran
edhar bhain udeekan kardi khat nahi ghaleya mera

meri jindri payi sehke
mera chann veer nahi aaya

khuda jaane kadon mukna mere sir ton vichchode ne
koi jaane te ki jaane ghaman de bhar thode ne
'Bari' yaadan na kheh kheh ke mera chann veer nahi aaya

yaad veeran di bachchi masoom tayin mud mud aan sataawe te ki hunda
chcheti bhain nu khadan da kar waada akbar lain na aawe te ki hunda
laake khwaab ton asghar nu naal seene mud ke ankh khul jaawe te ki hunda
puchcho sughra nu sayim khaali aun kachawe te ki hunda

dhee hussain di vich madine ro ro haawan maare
naa mud aaya baabul na mud karde veer pyare
din katdi raah tak veeran da raatan gin gin taare
kad bhainan de veeran baajon sayim hon guzaare

dasso soch ke ummat de je hathon howe katl imaam te ki hunda
asghar tayin dafnaaundeyan aa jaae chchithi asghar de naawe te ki hunda
pai pahunchauna je akbar di laash tayin shikwa bhareyan salaam te ki hunda
ghaliye sughra de kaasid nu mod sayim das ke haalat tamaam te ki hunda

ajj kal tu keha si lai jaasan kadon aauni e ajj kal akbar
jadon tadap marr gayi hamsheer teri jadon vich mitti gayi rul akbar
gal gal andar jal wal gayiyaan mal mal talliyan pal pal akbar
bhain nain unchaal pukaardi aa kadi aa mud ke watnan wal akbar
jehdi gal kar gaya si waar jaandi shayad yaad na rahi oh gal akbar
tenu bann sehra vekhan payi chehra teri yaad diita jigar sal akbar

'Bari' yaadan naa kheh kheh ke
mera chann veer nahi aaya
