ham ko salaam karta hai to jata jata kar
jo roz khoob peeta bhi hai chhupa chhupa kar
us ki ajeeb fitrat hai raaz kholne ki
jo raaz poochta hai ham ko hansa hansa kar
us shakhs ki ana us ko bas duba hi degi
jo zehar bolta hai sab ko ḍra ḍra kar
vo zakhm to kabhi bharte hi nahin davaa se
jo zakhm bas diye jaate hain suna suna kar
ham to ga.e the apna dukhra use suna ne
ham ko thaka diya us ne bas bitha bitha kar
is baar zindagi ham se rooth hi na jaa.e
is baar maut le jaayegi rula rula kar
