lafzon ke but tut chuke hain
kora kaghaz pada hua hai

gidh ne kab zindon ko nocha
sher ne kab murdon ko chhua hai

apni apni bin sambhaalo
suna hai shahr mein nag aaya hai

gunge bol rahe hain patthar
sannata reza reza hai

ghar ka kuan bhi be-masraf sa
sagar mein tezab bhara hai

saunp gai hai khud ko mujhe wo
hara bhara din aawara hai

naddi mein ji bhar ke nahaen
kuan badan se bhar jata hai
