Kisan

chir ke sal mein do bar zamin ka sina

dafn ho jata hun

gudgudate hain jo suraj ke sunahre naKHun

phir nikal aata hun

ab nikalta hun to itna ki baTore jo koi daman mein

daman phaT jae

ghar ke jis kone mein le ja ke koi rakh de mujhe

bhuk wahan se haT jae

phir mujhe piste hain, gundhte hain, senkte hain

gundhne senkne mein shakl badal jati hai

aur ho jati hai mushkil pahchan

phir bhi rahta hun kisan

wahi KHasta, bad-haal

qarz ke panja-e-KHunin mein niDhaal

is daranti ke tufail

kuchh hai mazi se ghanimat mera haal

haal se hoga hasin istiqbaal

uThte suraj ko zara dekho to

ho gaya sara ufuq laln-lal
