itna sannata hai basti mein ki dar jaega
chand nikla bhi to chup-chap guzar jaega

kya khabar thi ki hawa tez chalegi itni
sara sahra mere chehre pe bikhar jaega

hum kisi mod pe ruk jaenge chalte chalte
rasta tute hue pul pe thahar jaega

baadbanon ne jo ehsan jataya us par
bich dariya mein wo kashti se utar jaega

chalte rahiye ki saf-e-ham-safaran lambi hai
jis ko raste mein thaharna hai thahar jaega

dar-o-diwar pe sadiyon ki kohr chhai hai
ghar mein suraj bhi jo aaya to thithar jaega

fan wo jugnu hai jo udta hai hawa mein 'qaisar'
band kar loge jo mutthi mein to mar jaega
