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
