ek bose ki talab mein
jism kubde ho gae

zindagi pani hui
aasman se kahkashaon ki bahaar

aag barsati rahi
zindagi footpath par

ek roti ki talab mein
hath phailati rahi

qatra qatra bebasi tezab si
jism pighlati rahi

raddi chunwati rahi
neti-cheti par khadi khalq-e-khuda

hansti rahi
aur khuda khamosh tha
