khoya khoya rahta hai
jaane kya kar baitha hai

basti mein ek phul khila
mahlon mahlon charcha hai

rafta rafta utrega
chadhti umr ka dariya hai

udti ghata ko kya malum
sahra kitna pyasa hai

aaj ke insan ki manzil
aurat shohrat paisa hai

bitiya bhi sasural gai
tota bhi chup rahta hai

chal 'anjum' ghar laut chalen
sahra mein kya rakkha hai
