jangal ka aadmi

aakash raha chhappar mera
ye dharti thi bistar mera
suraj ko khuda banaya tha
ek nur usi se paya tha


patthar se aag jalai thi
lakdi se naw banai thi
sar par do sing sanware the
tiron se darinde mare the


poshak buni thi patton se
rishta tha 'ajab darakhton se
phal sare meri ghizaen the
gul-bute meri dawaen the


garmi se tan ko dhanpa tha
sardi ko jala kar tapa tha
baadal barse to bhig gaya
jab dhup khili to sukh gaya


main chhatri ke bin chalta tha
mausam ke sath badalta tha
jab main jangal mein rahta tha
