“Mere Bhai Mere Mola Tujhe Yad Karta Hoon,
Hai Ye Jaan Meri, Daman-e-Abbas Tera Hai,
Ghurbat Hai Meri Tujhse Judaai Ki Takleef Hai,
Kya Rakha Hai In Me Ye Duniya Bhi, Maal Bhi,
Kya Rakha Hai In Me Ye Duniya Bhi, Maal Bhi,
Kya Rakha Hai In Me Ye Duniya Bhi, Maal Bhi,
Mere Bhai Mere Mola Tujhe Yad Karta Hoon.”
