Man hi man rota hai."

Ghire pralay ki ghor ghatayen,

Kadam mila kar chalna hoga."

Shanti bina khushiya hai baanjh."

Ho kuch bhi magar haar nahi manooga."

Kshan-kshan ka hisaab loon
Yaa nidhi shesh lutaoon main?
Raah kaun si jaaon main?"

Antar ki cheer vyatha palakon par thithki
Haar nahi maanoonga,

Kaal ke kapaal pe likhta mitata hoon,
Geet naya gaata hoon."
