yahi rasta meri manzil ki taraf jata hai jis ke footpath faqiron se ate rahte hain khasta kapdon mein ye lipte hue mariyal dhanche ye bhikari ki jinhen dekh ke ghin aati hai haddiyan jism ki nikli hui pichke hue gal maile sar mein juen, aaza se tapakta hua kodh ruh bimar, badan sust, nigahen pamal hath phailae pade rahte hain rogi insan chand bewaon ke madquq se pile chehre kuchh hawas-kar nigahon mein utar jate hain jin ke aflas-zada jism, dhalakte sine chand sikkon ke ewaz shab ko bika karte hain shiddat-e-faqa se rote hue nanhe bachche ek roti ke niwale se bahal jate hain ya sar-e-sham hi so jate hain bhuke pyase man ki sukhi hui chhati ko daba kar munh mein chand bad-zeb se shohrat-zada insan aksar apni daulat o sakhawat ki numaish ke liye ya kabhi rahm ke jazbe se hararat pa kar chaar chhe paise unhen bakhsh diya karte hain kya faqat rahm ki haqdar hain nangi ruhen? kyun ye insanon pe insan taras khate hain? kyun inhen dekh ke ehsas-e-tahi-dasti hai aksar auqat main katra ke nikal jata hun? yahi rasta meri manzil ki taraf jata hai
