umr guzri jis ka rasta dekhte
aa bhi jata wo to hum kya dekhte

kaise kaise mod aae rah mein
sath chalte to tamasha dekhte

qarya-qarya jitna aawara phire
ghar mein rah lete to duniya dekhte

gar baha aate na dariyaon mein hum
aaj un aankhon se sahra dekhte

khud hi rakh aate diya diwar par
aur phir us ka bhadakna dekhte

jab hui tamir jism o jaan to log
hath ka mitti mein khona dekhte

do qadam chal aate us ke sath sath
jis musafir ko akela dekhte

e'tibar uth jata aapas ka 'jamal'
log agar us ka bichhadna dekhte
