Ek Baar Ek Budhiya Mar Gayi

Ek baar ek budhiya mar gayi,

Uski beti zor-zor se rone lagi aur boli,

Beti: “amma kaha gayi tu,
Jaha na dhoop-na chaanv,
Na roti-na sabzi,
Na bijli na pani”

Bagal mein santa-banta bhi
Shok manane aaye hue the,

Santa ne sath baithe banta ko kohni maari aur bola,

Santa: “abe dekh budhiya kahi
Hamare ghar pe to nahi chali gayi“
