mere andar jo andesha nahin hai
to kya mera koi apna nahin hai

koi patta kahin parda nahin hai
to kya ab dasht mein dariya nahin hai

to kya ab kuchh bhi dar-parda nahin hai
ye jangal hai to kyun khatra nahin hai

kahan jati hain barish ki duaen
shajar par ek bhi patta nahin hai

darakhton par sabhi phal hain salamat
parinda kyun koi thahra nahin hai

khila hai phul har gamle mein lekin
koi chehra tar-o-taza nahin hai

samajhna hai to diwaron se samjho
hamare shahr mein kya kya nahin hai
