jaan-lewa ek jhadi
jis ka masraf kuchh nahin

aur paidaish nahin mutlaq bhi muhtaj-e-zamin
ye hai khud-rau

dam-zadan mein
yak-ba-yak ug aae apne aap hi

is jagah ya us jagah kyon har kahin
jis pe aayad shart-e-mausam bhi nahin

phul patte sab zahrile bahut
zahr bhi wo har samm-e-qatil se badh kar zud-asar

us pe kante
aur kanton ki chubhan khunkhar nezon se ziyaada tez-tar
