main aag bhi tha aur pyasa bhi
tu mom thi aur ganga-jal bhi

main lipat lipat kar
bhadak bhadak kar

pyas bujhati aankhon mein bujh jata tha
wo aankhen sapne wali si

sapna jis mein ek basti thi
basti ka chhota sa pul tha

soe soe dariya ke sang
pedon ka milon saya tha

pul ke niche aksar ghanton
ek chand pighalte dekha tha

ab yaad mein pighli aag bhi hai
aankhon mein bahta pani bhi

main aag bhi tha aur pyasa bhi
