may ka aan pahuncha hai mahina
baha choti se edi tak pasina
baje baara to suraj sar pe aaya
hua pairon tale poshida saaya
chali lu aur tadaqe ki padi dhuup
lapat hai aag ki goya kadi dhuup
zamin hai ya koi jalta tava hai
koi shoala hai ya pachhua hava hai
dar-o-divar hain garmi se tapte
bani-adam hain machhli se tadapte
parinde ud ke hain paani pe girte
charinde bhi hain ghabrae se phirte
darinde chhup gae hain jhadiyon men
magar duube pade hain khadiyon men
na puchho kuchh gharibon ke makan ki
zamin ka farsh hai chhat asman ki
na pankha hai na tatti hai na kamra
zara si jhonpadi mehnat ka samra
amiron ko mubarak ho haveli
gharibon ka bhi hai allah beli
