hausle zindagi ke dekhte hain
chaliye kuchh roz ji ke dekhte hain

nind pichhli sadi ki zakhmi hai
khwab agli sadi ke dekhte hain

roz hum ek andheri dhund ke par
qafile raushni ke dekhte hain

dhup itni karahti kyun hai
chhanw ke zakhm si ke dekhte hain

tiktiki bandh li hai aankhon ne
raste wapsi ke dekhte hain

paniyon se to pyas bujhti nahin
aaiye zahr pi ke dekhte hain
