chaukor bandar ki chhalang se sab hairat mein pad gae
dusre bandar to chhalangen lagaya hi karte the

lekin kisi chaukor bandar ne aaj tak chhalang nahin lagai thi
sab ne yak-zaban ho kar kaha

chaukor bandar hum sab mein afzal hai
kyunki chhalang to hum sab laga lete hain

lekin wo chaukor bhi hai
aur un mein sab ek jo zyaada samajh bujh rakhta tha bola

kya tum dekhte nahin
ki chaukor shakl hi sab se achchhi shakl hai

kyunki is mein chaar pahlu hote hain
jo chaar jihaton ki nishan-dahi karte hain

aur chaar zawiye hote hain
jo chaar mausamon ki alamat hain

aur sab ne kaha han aisa hi hai
to phir wo sab chaukor bandar ke gird jama ho gae

aur der tak aqidat se use dekhte rahe
