unchi unchi shahnai hai
pagal ko nind aai hai

ek barahna ped ke niche
main hun ya purwai hai

meri hansi jangal mein kisi ne
der talak dohrai hai

raushniyon ke jal se bahar
koi kiran lahrai hai

khamoshi ki jhil pe shyama
kankar le kar aai hai

dhyan ki nadiya bahte bahte
ek dafa tharrai hai

khet pe kis ne sabz lahu ki
chadar si phailai hai

mere upar jala bunne
phir koi badli chhai hai

ek anguthi ke patthar mein
aankhon ki gahrai hai

diwaron par dagh lahu ke
pathrili angnai hai

main ne apne tanha ghar ko
aadhi baat batai hai

main to us ka sannata hun
wo meri tanhai hai

subh hui to dil mein jaise
thaki thaki angdai hai

thandi chae ki pyali pi ke
raat ki pyas bujhai hai

apne baadal ki kutiya ko
main ne aag lagai hai
