gulabi hawa aur nili udasi
ye kin jangalon ka safar hai

har ek samt kanton bhari rahguzar hai
kahan kho gae hain gajak ke wo thele

wo jadon ki raaten diwali ke mele
wo topi wo baste

wo budhe muhafiz wo kichad ke raste
wo barsati nale wo madhosh bachche

wo kurton ki jebon mein amrud kachche
wo panni ke chashme wo mitti ke bartan

wo bosida kadiyon mein chidiyon ke maskan
magar ab ye be-mani be-rang manzar

ki phulon ke daman mein nokile patthar
hayat-e-musalsal ye kaisa safar hai

har ek samt kanton bhari rahguzar hai
