airport station sadkon par hain kitne sare log
jaane kaun se sukh ki khatir phirte mare mare log

sham gae ye manzar hum ne mulkon mulkon dekha hai
ghar lauten bojhal qadmon se bujhe hue angare log

sab se shaki khud se nalan apni aag mein jalte hain
dukh ke siwa aur kya bantenge in jaise andhiyare log

pur-nam aankhon bojhal dil se kitni bar widai li
kitna bojh liye phirte hain hum jaise banjare log

wo kitne khush-qismat the jo apne gharon ko laut gae
shahron shahron ghum rahe hain hum haalat ke mare log

raat gae yaadon ke jangal mein diwali hoti hai
dip sajae aa jate hain bhule bisre pyare log

bachpan kitna pyara tha jab dil ko yaqin aa jata tha
marte hain to ban jate hain aasman ke tare log
