main is chhote se kamre mein
aazad bhi hun aur qaid bhi hun

is kamre mein ek khidki hai
jo chhat ke barabar unchi hai

jab suraj dubne lagta hai
kamre ki chhat se guzarta hai

mutthi bhar kirnon ke zarre
khidki se andar aate hain

main is raste par chalti hun
aur apne ghar ho aati hun

mera bap abhi tak mere liye
jab shahr se wapas aata hai

chadar kanghi kajal chudi
jaane kya kya le aata hai

mere donon bhai ab bhi
masjid mein padhne jate hain

ahkaam-e-khudawandi sare
padhte hain aur dohraate hain

aapa mere hisse ki roti
changir mein dhak kar rakhti hai

aur subh sawere uth kar wo
roti chidiyon ko deti hai

man meri kuchh pagal si hai
ya patthar chunti rahti hai

ya dana chugti chidiyon se
kuchh baaten karti rahti hai

wo kahti hai jab ye chidiyan
sab is ki baat samajh lengi

chonchon mein patthar bhar lengi
panjon mein sang samo lengi

phir wo tufan aa jaega
jis se har mimbar har munsif

para-para ho jaega
mera insaf karega wo

jo sab ka hakim-e-ala hai
sab jis ki nazar mein yaksan hain

jo munsif izzat wala hai
main man ko kaise samjhaun

kya main koi khana-kaba hun
