ek chhappar kaa ghar, neem ke saaye
uuNghtaa hai dhundhalke meN lipTaa huaa
shaam kaa waqt hai aur chuulha hai sard
sahan meN ek bachcha barahna badan
baasii roTii ka TukDaa liye haath meN
sar khujaataa hai, jaane hai kis soch meN
aur asaare meN aaTe kii chakkii ke paas
ek aurat pareshaan khaatir, udaas
apne rukh par liye zindagii kii thakan
sochtii hai ki din bhar kii mehnat ke baad
aaj bhii ruukhii roTii milegii hameN
tum hiqaarat se kyuuN dekhte ho use
Dost! ye mere bachpan kii tasviir hai
