tamam galiyon mein matam bapa tha jangal ka
yahan zarur koi silsila tha jangal ka

likhi thin wahshaten sahra ki meri aankhon mein
kitab-e-dil mein waraq khul raha tha jangal ka

hamare shahron mein ab roz hota rahta hai
wo waqia jo kabhi waqia tha jangal ka

wo is taraf ki pahadi pe mithe jharne the
pa darmiyan mein rasta ghana tha jangal ka

mujh ek shahr mein aisa bhi tha udas koi
hamesha mujh se pata puchhta tha jangal ka

kisi ke sath ne insan bana diya hai ise
wagarna dil ye kabhi bhediya tha jangal ka

jahan pe khatm thi insaniyat ki had 'athar'
wahan pe dekha to ek rasta tha jangal ka
