Azaad Insan

Agar socha jaaye to
Aasan nahi hai insaan hona
Nadi ke paas sahooloiyat hai
Ek baarish se agar bhar jaaye
To ufna kar behne lagti hai

Aadmi ke paas ye ijazat nahi
Seene tak bhar aane par bhi
Ek ek qatra hisab se bahata hai
Khule aasman aur zameen ke beech
Jo ped saalon se khade hain
Wo kabhi ghutan se nahi marte
Par usi hawa aur paani mein
Ummeedon ki ghutan se
Aadmi roz mar mar ke jeeta hai

Kabhi kisi parinde ki parwaz
Hasraton ke bojh se nahi dabi
Puraane se puraane ped ke tane mein
Mare hue khwabo ki qabr-gaah nahi milti
