basti mein ek kinare
do ped the bechaare

kahte the apna dukhda
kis ko sunaen pyare

insan ne hum se badle
kis baat ke utare

hum to unhen dikhaen
dilkash hasin nazare

khud pas kuchh na rakhen
phal un ko de den sare

un ke maweshiyon ko
den hum hi sabz chaare

barish ho hum jo chhoden
kuchh bhap ke ghubare

ho dhup chilchilati
tab hum banen sahaare

garmi mein hum chalaen
thandi hawa ke dhaare

gandi hawa ko chhanen
shakhon ko hum pasare

lekin sila ye paya
in khidmaton ka pyare

mare koi kulhadi
koi chalae aare

bachchon ka ghol aaya
jab bhi tale hamare

shakhen kisi ne todin
patthar kisi ne mare

chaqu se nam khoda
chhilke bhi chhil utare

hum to yahan pe ug kar
mare gae hain mare

jangal mein hum jo ugte
hote maze hamare

din shahri zindagi ke
kis dukh se hain guzare
