ek din akasmaat
ek puraane mitr se
ho gaee mulaakaat
kahane lage-“jo log
kavita ko kaish kar rahe hai
ve aish kar rahe hain
likhane vaale maun hai
shrota to yah dekhata hai
ki padhane vaala kaun hai
log-baag
chaar-gazalen
aur do lok geet churaakar
apane naam se suna rahe hain
bhagavaan ne unhe khoobasoorat banaaya hai
ve zamaane ko
bevakoof bana rahe hain
soorat aur sur theek ho
to kavita laajavaab hai
yahee shaayaree ka inqalaab hai
urdoo ka rijekted maal
hindee mein chal raha hai
choron ke bharose
khaanadaan pal raha hai
gazal kisee kee
fasal kisee kee
bhala kisee ka
ek lokal kavi kee line
akhil bhaarateey ne maar dee
lokal chillaaya
“abe, chillaata kyon hai
teree lokal line ko
akhil bhaarateey bana diya
saare desh mein ghuma diya
