Bahut waqt baad ik choti si peshkas le kar bazm me haazir hun. Bhool chook ke liye muafi ka talabgaar rahuNga...
shaam ho ke sehar so jata hooN,
zulm se darbadar so jata hooN...
jab hawa thand me thithurti hai,
ghuthnoN me rakh ke sar so jata hooN...
neeNd aati nahi mere dar pe,
jaane kaise magar so jata hooN...
paet aawazen karne lagta jab,
rotiyaaN soch kar so jata hooN.
yaad mujhko satati apno ki,
aaNkheN seeNch kar so jata hooN.
jaanleva to hoti hai footpath,
fir bhi kyun roz idhar so jata hooN...
mujhko kitna badal diya sabne,
aaine se bhi darr so jata hooN...
loot li zindagi siyasat ne,
aaNkheN rakh aaNkhoN par so jata hooN..
haNste-haNste uthana mujhko 'Taish',
rote-rote agar so jata hooN...
