“Akela”

Ek ersa jo, mene tanha bitaya

Jisme na tu, na tera saya

Jagmati rato ke andhero me,

Suraj ki bejaan baho me,

Hazaro logo ki raho me.

                                    Jo mene sir thoda uthaya,

                                    Chehra apna samne aya, jab khud ko has mod par akela bus akela paya

Ab ji chaha, sare bandhan tod du,

Dil mera bhi sabke samne khol du,

Phoolo ki khusboo odh kar,

Panchiyo ke ghar-ghar bol du,

Ab dastak dene me bhi aya.

                                   Jo darwaje ke piche khud ko paya,

                                   To har ghar me bhi khud ko akela bus akela paya.
