khuli faza mein saf hawa ke jaisa wo
barish ke pani ke jaisa wo

gahra tha mitti se rishta pairon ka
us rishte ke bich na aai chappal bhi

ghadi na bandhi kabhi kalai par us ne
suraj-tare waqt use batlate the

apne bal par apni dhun mein rahta tha
nahin kisi se ganw mein wo darta tha

nam ki khwahish thi na use pahchan ki thi
bas apne kaamon se matlab rakhta tha

wo dana tha wo mitti tha
wo pauda tha wo mausam tha

wo sachcha khalis insan tha
jaise aadam aur hawwa the

wo tanha tha
ek bade se ghar mein tanha rahta tha

bhainsen us ke sath thin
us ki baat samajhti thin

wo bhi un ki hi bhasha mein un se baaten karta tha
ghar par aksar laga ke tala yunhi sa

khaliyanon mein rahne wala bap mera
kheton kheton basne wala bap mera

aam ki chhanw mein sone wala bap mera
ab mitti mein sota hai

aam ke ped ki khushk jadon mein rota hai
