pipal

ik pīpal ke nīche maiñ ne apnī khaaT bichhā.ī

leT gayā maiñ khaaT pe lekin niiñd na mujh ko aa.ī

aaheñ bharte karvaTeñ lete saarī umr gañvā.ī

pīpal ke pattoñ ko ginte karte un par ġhaur

pīpal kī shāḳhoñ ko takte biit gayā ik daur

pīpal kī har chiiz purānī albelā har taur

chale havā to Daalī Daalī lachak lachak bal khaa.e

ruke havā to sādhū ban kar dhyān kā diip jalā.e

jhakkaḌ ke har vaar pe Dole chīḳh chīḳh rah jaa.e

pīpal kī shāḳhoñ par baiThe kuchh panchhī sustā.eñ

bāhar se kuchh aane vaale ik kohrām machā.eñ

gaa.eñ giit anokhe mil kar nācheñ aur nachā.eñ

pīpal kyā hai jogī kā be-darsā ik asthān

jhoñke patte panchhī insāñ sab is ke mehmān

khaaT pe lipTā soch rahā huuñ maiñ mūrakh nādān

ek pipal ke niche main ne apni khaT bichhai

leT gaya main khaT pe lekin nind na mujh ko aai

aahen bharte karwaTen lete sari umr ganwai

pipal ke patton ko ginte karte un par ghaur

pipal ki shaKHon ko takte bit gaya ek daur

pipal ki har chiz purani albela har taur

chale hawa to Dali Dali lachak lachak bal khae

ruke hawa to sadhu ban kar dhyan ka dip jalae

jhakkaD ke har war pe Dole chiKH chiKH rah jae

pipal ki shaKHon par baiThe kuchh panchhi sustaen

bahar se kuchh aane wale ek kohram machaen

gaen git anokhe mil kar nachen aur nachaen

pipal kya hai jogi ka be-darsa ek asthan

jhonke patte panchhi insan sab is ke mehman

khaT pe lipTa soch raha hun main murakh nadan
