adawat dil mein rakhte hain magar yari dikhate hain
na jaane log bhi kya kya adakari dikhate hain

yaqinan un ka ji bharne laga hai mezbani se
wo kuchh din se hamein jati hui lorry dikhate hain

ulajhna hai hamein banjar zaminon ki haqiqat se
unhen kya wo to bas kaghaz pe phulwari dikhate hain

madad karne se pahle tum haqiqat bhi parakh lena
yahan par aadatan kuchh log lachaari dikhate hain

darana chahte hain wo hamein bhi dhamkiyan de kar
bade nadan hain pani ko chingari dikhate hain

darakhton ki hifazat karne walo dar nahin jaana
dikhane do agar kuchh sar-phire aari dikhate hain

himaqat qabil-e-tarif hai un ki 'akela' ji
hamin se kaam hai hum ko hi rang-dari dikhate hain
