main ek bahta dariya hun lekin kitna pyasa hun rah mein gum-sum baitha hun ek ek ka munh takta hun tujh ko apna kahta hun kitna bhola-bhaala hun dhup mein tapta sahra hun janam janam ka pyasa hun phir tujh tak laut aaya hun shayad khota sikka hun aksar tere bare mein sapne dekha karta hun tu bhi ek khilauna hai main bhi ek khilauna hun meri fitrat chand si hai ghatta badhta rahta hun bachchon ki farmaish par jhute wade karta hun yaro kuchh dam lene do dur se chal kar aata hun mustaqbil ke bare mein kya kya socha karta hun 'tahir' ghar ki chaukhat par jaane kyon chup baitha hun
