jeekar dekh liyaa
jeene men -
kitanaa maranaa paḌataa hai.
apanee sharton par jeene kee
ek chaah sabamen rahatee hai.
kintu zindagee anubandhon ke
anachaahe aashray gahatee hai.
kyaa-kyaa kahanaa
kyaa-kyaa sunanaa
kyaa-kyaa karanaa paḌataa hai
samajhauton kee suiyaan milatee,
dhan ke dhaage bhee mil jaate,
sambandhon ke phaTe vastr to
silane ko hain, sil bhee jaate,
seevan
kaun, kahaa(n) kab udhaḌe,
itanaa Daranaa paḌataa hai.
meree kaun visaat yahaa(n) to
sanyaasee bhee saansat Dhote.
laakh aparigrah ke darpaN ho
sangrah ke pratibimb sanjote,
kuTiyaa men
kopeen kamaNDal
kuchh to dharanaa paḌataa hai.
