Gulabi Chonch

gulabi chonch mein kiDe liye uDti hai gaurayya

jidhar ek aashiyan mein us ke bachchon ne abhi aankhen nahin kholin

magar hain bhuk se be-kal

machhere subh ki dhundli ridaon mein

purane chhapparon ki kokh se shanon pe rakh kar jal nikle hain

wahin par khanste hain chand mehnat-kash alao ke kinare biDiyan pi kar

falak-paima imarat ke liye mazdur patthar toDte hain munhamik ho kar

sahar ki surmai dhundli ridaon mein

main gahri soch mein gum hun

saf-e-danish-waran kya in se bartar hai?
