gaDbaD jhaala

aala baala makdi ka jala
makdi bhuri makda kala
ghat lagae donon baithe
khamoshi se japte mala


lo jale mein phans gai makkhi
daud ke fauran pahunchi makdi
us ko mazbuti se jakda
khub use jale mein lipta


hath panw makkhi ne chalae
lekin us ke kaam na aae
jaan haari bechaari makkhi
kha gae us ko makda makdi


dekh ke sara gadbad jhaala
hui udas ma'sum ghazala
kahne lagi wo aala baala
hae-re wo makdi ka jala


jis mein phans gai makkhi baala
aala baala makdi ka jala
sheron ko jangal mein dekho
hiran bane hai un ka niwala


isi tarah chalti hai duniya
hairan kyon hoti hai ghazala
tum har jaan-dar ko dekho
ek dusre ka hai wo niwala
