concrete jangal mein
concrete chattanen

pattharon ki basti mein
zindagi nahin milti

munjamid hain sochen bhi
aagahi nahin milti

concrete jangal mein concrete jhilen hain
tarkol ki nadiyan bah rahi hain har jaanib

anginat siyah patthar tairte hain nadiyon mein
dubte hain jhilon mein

dub kar ubharte hain jhil ke kinaron par
pattharon ke gul-bute jin se aanch aati hai

dhad se darindon ki ruh kanp jati hai
kuchh nazar nahin aata kis qadar andhera hai

fikr ka ujala bhi qaid hai hisaron mein
concrete jangal mein aise kitne patthar hain

jin ke sakht chehron par waqt ki kharashen hain
jin ke rup mein koi dilkashi nahin lekin

phir bhi un ke sine mein ek dard palna hai
in siyah aankhon mein ek dip jalta hai
