mariyam ne khwab dekha
jangal mein hai wo tanha

itne mein jhadiyon se
ek sher jhat se nikla

dekhi jo shakl us ki
mariyam pe khauf chhaya

bechaari ji mein sahmi
ab sher mujh pe jhapta

par sher ka to us dam
kuchh aur hi tha naqsha

tha wo bahut pareshan
sahma sa aur dara sa

latki hui thi gardan
utra hua tha chehra

aankhon mein us ki aansu
jo dum se ponchhta tha

mariyam ko dekh kar ye
behad hua achambha

dhaaras bandhi jo us ki
mariyam ne us se puchha

ai baadshah salamat
hai haal aap ka kya

tab us ne jhurjhuri li
mariyam ki samt palta

pahle dikhae panje
khola phir apna jabda

kuchh der chup raha wo
phir aah bhar ke bola

kya puchhti ho mujh se
ai meri nannhi gudiya

bigda mera muqaddar
phuta mera nasiba

ya bad-dua hai us ki
main ne jise sataya

mujh mein rahe na kuchh gun
ab dant hain na nakhun
