*Kahan Gaye*

Yeh jag sundar karnewale kahan gaye
Vyarth vyathaye verne wale kahan gaye?

Log lahu se aksar darte dekhe hai
Per aanu se darnewale kahan gaye?

Kanjer se merne wale to laakhon hai
Meete boli se merne wale kahan gaye?

Kahan gaye ve log raat ko mehkakar
Prath-kusum se jharne wale kahan gaye?

Geeton ki chaukat per ramjuhari mein
Apna mastak dharnewale kahan gaye?

Tann se nange rahe, magar mann se change
Dhan gumaan ko hernewale kahan gaye?

Kahan gaye ve ek bhoond aansu jal se
Agam sindu ko berne wale kahan gaye?
