ham bhi gaav men shaam ko baitha karte the hamko bhi haalaat ne baahar bheja hai

uljh karke teri agar men yuñ aabaad ho jaaun ki jaise lucknow ka main ameenabad ho jaaun main yamuna ki tarah tanhaa nihaaru taaj ko kab tak koi ganga mile to main ilahaabad ho jaaun

hamaare kuchh gunaahon ki saza bhi saath chalti hai ham ab tanhaa nahin chalte davaa bhi saath chalti hai

itne ghane baadal ke peeche kitna tanhaa hogaa chaand

paron ko khol zamaana udaan dekhta hai zameen pe baith ke kya aasmaan dekhta hai

parind unchi uraano ki dhun men rehta hai magar zameen ki hadon men basar bhi karta hai

parind shaakh pe tanhaa udaas baitha hai udaan bhool gaya muddaton ki bandish men
