nadan koi ek roz jo jangal mein gaya
akhrot ke baghat ka manzar dekha

hai kitna bada ped to phal chhota sa
ye soch ke wo aur bhi hairan hua

is itne bade ped pe nanha sa phal
tarbuz yahan hota to kya achchha tha

tarbuz ko dekho to zara si hai bel
qudrat ne dikhae hain tamashe kya kya

tarbuz kahan aur kahan ye akhrot
kya bhed hai meri na samajh mein aaya

is soch mein tha ki ek hawa ka jhakkad
aandhi sa bagula sa biphar kar uttha

jangal ke darakhton ko hila kar us ne
akhrot ko nadan ke sar par phenka

sar par pada akhrot to chikha nadan
tarbuz jo hota to main mar hi jata

hikmat se koi kaam nahin hai khali
jis ko bhi jahan tu ne kiya hai paida

us ki jagah us ne nahin behtar koi
ab raaz ye meri bhi samajh mein aaya
