ek hi dasht tha wo bhi na khangala main ne
dil pe lena nahin tha panw ka chhaala main ne

ghar ke dah jaane mein ghaflat meri shamil thi magar
sara malba dar-o-diwar pe dala main ne

kash main apne aza-daron ko batla sakta
kaisa dukh tha wo jise maut se tala main ne

aakhir-e-kar ghulami se baghawat kar di
aur zanjir ko shamshir mein dhaala main ne

yun to har shakhs yahan aankh liye phirta hai
par nahin dekha koi dekhne wala main ne

aur phir ek roz hamesha ke liye kho gaya main
yani ek roz use dhund nikala main ne
