ye shahr ke basi kya jaanen kya rup hai ganw ke panghat ka
kya ishq hai laj ki alhad ka kya husn hai moh ke nat-khat ka

wadon ki hawa amrai mein yaadon ki faza angnai mein
milne ki dua tanhai mein sannate mein dhoka aahat ka

aanchal mein chhupi mamta ki maya kathri mein dabi bhagwan ki daya
lata hai koi sandesh naya pal pal mein badalna karwat ka

chulhe ka tawa muskata hua jugnu bhi ude sharmata hua
pardesi ki yaad dilata hua khamosh diya ek chaukhat ka

galiyaron mein madh tapkata hua kutiyon ki sudha nahlata hua
aangan mein nayan matkata hua hai chand aurauni par latka

thak haar ke jo bhi aata hai ji bhar ke pyas bujhata hai
ai dharm pe marne wale bata kya dharm hai nadiya ke tat ka

'bekal' tera pag pag nam yahan utsahi tere sab kaam yahan
teri bhor yahan teri sham yahan phir kahe phire bhatka bhatka
