Babai, Madhya Pradesh, India
justuju ke panw ab aaram sa pane lage
sard sannaTon ki sab sargoshiyan le jaunga
chilchilati dhup sar par aur tanha aadmi
khol simaT ke andar simaT kar rah gaya main
phir lauT ke aaya hun tanhai ke jangal mein
shahr aur main
raushni raushni ke KHwab
tanhai
subh ki aamad ke sath
samandar ka sukut
insan ki duniya mein insan hai pareshan kyun
hamare ghar ke aangan mein sitare bujh gae lakhon
kaun dahshat-gard hai aur kaun hai dahshat-zada
shahr mein jurm-o-hawadis is qadar hain aaj-kal
kya usi ka nam hai ranai-e-bazm-e-hayat
