baNi hai Dizal de baddal
nawin dilli:
khulhde lohe de buhe har sawer
te dukanan sajdian
sher wakur garaj ke bazar jage
dhat da belag gautam andaron
uTThke dukan wichchon
ek sadiwi padam-asaN wich bajjha
bahar aa bahinda abodhi thanmh kol
gahak aaunde jistarhan bhukkhe parinde
padam-asaN wich baiThi dhat utton
jhaDda garda wapari
chor-akkhin nirakhda gahak da khisa
rah huN nirwan da te munafa waNaJ da
pratik ikko tatth de
ajj mukti di Dagar golak ’chon langhe
sochda howega bhola buddh par
ki dukanan wich hai kinna haner!

ho gae gautam nun ta nirwan milian
panj sau te do hazar sal
par aje wi mukat na uh kaston?
