Desh Piyaar


rukhay parbat KhaibriN, disay na teela,
khaddaN vaachhaN addiyan, sajjay te khabbay.
sir-talwaiyeaN ghaatiyan na challe heela,
killi Khaan Zamaan di choti te phabbay.

pairaN wich pahaarh de chaare hi paasay.
Hari Singh Sardar ne sann deray laye,
ghera chittay tambooaN da aidaN bhaasay,
jiyon jatti de pair wich panzaib suhaaye.

raah killi da lukwaN si aissa koi,
bhaitee baajhoN kaThan si uss taeeN paana.
chappa chappa khojiaN ne dharti tohi,
labha na par oussda koi raah Tikaana.

ikk dihaarhe khojian diThay sabheyaare,
naal pahaarhi chhehaT ke dou banday laggay,
ikk allooaN chhokra, ikk buDhay waare,
pakarh liyaae dohaN nu Nalluye de aggay.

karke muchhaN kundiyaN te chehra sooha,
vall ohna de kadam dou Nalluye ne puttay,
"chhaitee chhaitee das diyo killi da booha,
nahi taan ander khadd de jaoge suttay."

bit bit buDhay dekheya sajjay te khabbay,
ikk dar khaddaN doonghiyan, ikk dar talwaaraN.
maar khangoora boleya,"je hattan sabhe,
kalla aggay sher de main arz guzaaraN".

karke akhaN nikkiyan te vaaj chhuTairee,
hauli hauli akheya phir buDhay baawe.
"Raah killi da dasnaN main lakhaN vairee,
khauf apne put da mar mainu khaawe".

"bibi daahRhi rakh ke main kiddaN vechaN,
puttar saahweiN iztaN Singha sardaara.
sutt diyo je uss nu dandi toN haiThaN,
raah killi da khol ke main dassaN saara".

chayea ikk jawaan ne munday nu sukka,
wich pataali khadd de sir parne waheya,
hoyea nadda dhehNdiyaN hi tukka tukka,
vatt ke muchhaN buDhray lalkaara layea:

"nahi si tainu dasseya pehlaN sardaara,
apne nikkay putt da dar mainu khaawe?
mattaN alooaN chhokra takk lashkar bhaara,
apni ankhi qaum nu na vatta laawe."

"na hunn khaddaN pohndiyan, na dhamki kayee,
na talwaaraN nangiyaN, na chehra sooha.
hikk buDhay di cheer ke teri sarwaahi,
labhe gi hunn sohneyaN killi da booha".
