gadi guzar gai
dhuen aur dhul ki chhatri ne

mitti ko dhanp diya
kabutar khush-ilhan muazzin ke

erab jude jumlon ke bich
kabuk se sar takraata hai

tuti mez pe main ne aankhen rakhi hain
aur gathri ban kar

kursi pe baitha hun
main jo apne maile kafan ki sondhi khushbu

sungh chuka hun jaan gaya hun
ek ya do farlang farar ka rasta hai

jina jite rahna hi neamat hai
jangal hai aur girye ki shakhon se dast-e-sawal

kasa ban kar latka hai
main kase mein chhup kar baitha hun

ghar ka sara saz-o-saman bech kar nikla hun
ye soch kar ghar se nikla hun
