bhare makan mein rote hue akela tha

bhare makan mein rote hue akela tha
main apne logon ke hote hue akela tha
main us ke ba'd kabhi nind mein na ja paya
wo mere khwab mein sote hue akela tha


wagarna aaj tera nam jaan lete sab
main apne zakhm ko dhote hue akela tha
ab us ki chhanw mein bachche gali ke khelte hain
main jis darakht ko bote hue akela tha


ye sab parinde use dekhne ko aae hain
ye ek shajar ki jo rote hue akela tha
ye aaj sona bani hai to yar aa pahunche
main apni mitti ko dhote hue akela tha


wo ta'ziyat ke liye doston ke sath aaya
jo shakhs mujh ko dubote hue akela tha
