hum bhi hain is shahar ke basi
jis ne lakhon hathon mein kashkol diya hai

kal tak tha ye apna aalam
rah mein wa hathon mein jab tak

ek ek chawanni rakh nahin dete dil ko chain nahin aata tha
ghar wali bhi ek do khali pet mein dane pahuncha kar hi khud khane mein sukh pati thi

aaj ye manzil aa pahunchi hai
kal se ziyaada khali hath sawali chehre

dil mein dard jagate hain
dard ke mare jeb mein jata hath magar ruk jata hai

hath chala bhi jae andar to chawanni chhup jati hai
ghar wali ko paki hui handi pe kabhi to jabr sa karna padta hai

kabhi to dhakkan chhu te hi kuchh aisi wo dar jati hai
jaise handi mein kale aur andhe mustaqbil ki nagin chhup kar baithi ho
