bas ki ek dar-ba-dari rahti hai
khud se hi daud lagi rahti hai

munjamid hum ko na jaano sahab
andar ek aag lagi rahti hai

kuchh tabiat hi mili hai aisi
sath ek gham-zadagi rahti hai

bure aasar ki sar par goya
koi talwar tani rahti hai

koi mausam ho mere parbat par
sal bhar barf jami rahti hai

do kinaron ki tarah hain donon
darmiyan ek nadi rahti hai
