mujh se roz yahi kahta hai pakki sadak par wo kala sa dagh jo kuchh din pahle
surkh lahu ka tha ek chhinta chikna gila chamkila chamkila

mitti us pe giri aur maili si ek pidhi us par se utri
aur phir sinduri sa ek khaka ubhra

jo ab pakki sadak par kala sa dhabba hai
pisi hui bajri mein jazb aur jamid an-mit

mujh se roz yahi kahta hai pakki sadak par masla hua wo dagh lahu ka
main ne to pahli bar us din

apni rang-birangi qashon wali gend ke pichhe
yun hi zara ek jast-bhari thi

abhi to mera roghan bhi kachchha tha
kis ne undel diya yun mujh ko is mitti par

un un main nahin mitta main to hun ab bhi hun
main ye sun kar dar jata hun

kali bajri ke roghan mein jine wale is masum lahu ki kaun sunega
mamta bik bhi chuki hai chand takon mein

qanun aankhen miche hue hai
qatil pahiye be-pahra hain
