husn-o-jawani sab hai fani chaar dinon ki hai ye kahani

kya is par itrana hai maTi ki kaya ko ek din maTi mein mil jaana hai

tu ne shayad suni nahin hai kabhi gyan ki baaten

quran aur hadis ki baaten wed puran ki baaten

jaisi teri karni hogi waisa phal paega

kya ke kar hun hai tu aur kya ke kar jaega

fani hai ye duniya is ke maile bhi hain fani

'izzat daulat shohrat taqat sab hai aani jaani

bar-bar kahta hai tujh se jiwan ka ek tara

ThaTh paDa rah jaega aur chal dega banjara

KHali hath tu hun hai aur KHali hath hi jaana hai

maTi ki kaya ko ek din maTi mein mil jaana hai

toD ke in kanTon se rishta phul se daman bhar ke

neki tere kaam aaegi kuchh to neki kar ke

aaKHir apne aap ko murakh kab tak dhokhe dega

khoTa sikka bazaron mein kitni der chalega

chhoD de ab ye moh ye maya malik ka tu ho ke

ram nam se apne man ki maili chadar dho ke

tu hai ek anjaan musafir Dagar hai ye andhiyari

is duniya mein jaane ki bhi kar ke kuchh tayyari

kya hai is sansar mein tera kya khona kya pana hai

maTi ki kaya ko ek din maTi mein mil jaana hai

apne parae kuTumb qabile sathi nahin kisi ke

dhan daulat aur mahal do-mahle sab hain jite ji ke

jo hai tera param pita tu apna use bana ke

malik ki bhagTi se apne man ki jot jaga ke

samay ki dhaara bahti dhaara nahin kahin bhi rukti

malik ki bhagTi hi degi andhkar se mukuti

andhkar se mukti pa kar sowarg lok jaega

tera achchha karam hi murakh tere kaam aaega

sina tan ke chalne wale ant samay pachhtana hai

maTi ki kaya ko ek din maTi mein mil jaana hai

wahan na hoga resham jaisa koi narm bichhauna

sonch to kaisa hoga angaron ki sej pe sona

ye jo shish-mahal hai do din ka hai Dera

apne ko tu samajh ke panchhi is ko rain basera

jab ye panchhi uD jaega rahega pinjra KHali

sath nahin jaega koi ghar wala ghar wali

tu ne jo sapne dekhe hain kabhi na honge pure

hansenge tere qabr pe aa kar tere kaam adhure

jis mein tu hai phansa hua kamzor wo tana-bana hai

maTi ki kaya ko ek din maTi mein mil jaana hai

prem bhabhut laga ke tan par tera tan chamkega

dharm-karm ki nishTha se hi man darpan chamkega

nam ka sewak bana hua hai kaam ka sewak ban ja

manawta ki sewa kar ke ram ka sewak ban ja

dekh ke duniya ki sundarta kahe man lalchae

aae akela jae akela koi sath na jae

ghar se be-ghar tujhe banaega tera hi beTa

qabr mein teri tujhe utarega tera hi beTa

koi nahin duniya mein tera ye hi tujhe samjhana hai

maTi ki kaya ko ek din maTi mein mil jaana hai

din dukhi ki sewa bhi hai sewa param pita ki

sewa hi se phul banegi pagle aag chita ki

man hi jab kala hai to be-kar hai ujli kaya

abhi yahan pe abhi wahan hai jiwan ki ye chhaya

samay ka naT-khaT baalak tujh se aankh-micholi khele

wahan pe hoga kal sannaTa jahan lage hain maile

kaun yahan rahne hun hai sab ko jaana hoga

phir apne swami ko apna munh dikhlana hoga

ye baaten hain aisi baaten jis ko sab ne mana hai

maTi ki kaya ko ek din maTi mein mil jaana hai

jina kya hai marna kya hai is ka tujhe pata hai

jhuT ke pichhe bhag raha hai sach ko bhul gaya hai

sachchai se aankh churana bahut bura hai bhai

lok moh ko gale lagana bahut bura hai bhai

'qaisar' ki is kawita se kuchh to nasihat ke ke

chhoD ke neki kahe pagle pap ke papaD bele

miTTi ho jaegi kaya rahega bas afsana

chaar dinon ka jiwan hai ye kya is par itrana

itna sab kuchh samajh ke murakh duniya ka diwana hai

maTi ki kaya ko ek din maTi mein mil jaana hai
