Panchhi Te Pardesi

parinde aur pardesi kabhi wapas nahin aate

jila-watnon ke panw ke tale

dharti baDi kamzor hoti hai

kabhi rasta nahin hota

kabhi saya nahin hota

shajar ki aarzuen dhup ke aansu bahati hain

magar barish nahin hoti

parinde aur pardesi kabhi wapas nahin aate

duaen gaThriyon mein bandh kar

chaukhaT pe baiThi

maon ke patthar wajudon par

kabhi miTTi nahin hoti

kabhi sabza nahin ugta

parinde aur pardesi

agar wapas kabhi aaen to

sare lok giton dastanon

aur miTTi mein amanat ki hui aankhon ko

apne sath le jaen!
