mere TuTe hausle ke par nikalte dekh kar

aur paanī tah meñ vo mujhe DhūñD rahā thā

dariya ke kinare pe meri lash paDi thi

kab tak paḌe rahoge havāoñ ke haath meñ

kab tak chalegā khokhle shabdoñ kārobār

kab tak paDe rahoge hawaon ke hath mein

kab tak chalega khokhle shabdon ka karobar

chup-chāp baiThe rahte haiñ kuchh bolte nahīñ
