barsaat mein ek shaam

hulchul jo machaaye aaj barsaat
thap ho gayi yaatayaat

har jagah bas bhopu ki shor 
naa chalta waqt par hamara zor

bus mein latke the yatri
shaam se hone chali thi raatri

ghar pahunchne ki sabko thi jaldi
kaat kar lambe safar ki avadhi

koi joojh raha tha zindagi aur maut
phir bhi lagi thi ambulance se sabki daud

maana sabko ko hai kai zaroori kaarya
par kya zindagi se badh kar hai anivaarya???

naa tha us rogi se koi rishta
bas tha insaaniyat ka naata

isi soch mein jo udaas tha dil
saamne aaya kisi mantri ka rakshak dal

naa jaane kaise chune hai humne neta
jinme na hai koi samvedansheelta

kya insaan hamesha hi tha itna kathor dil??
naa jaane kahan hai wo badlav ki manzil
