साँसों का स्पंदन है वह जीवन का अहसास है माँ
मंदिर, मस्जिद, गुरुद्वारा क्या जिसके दिल के पास है माँ
घी-चीनी वर्जित है तुझको क्या पकवान खिलाएगा?
जितनी तेरी उम्र हुई है उतने तो उपवास है माँ![3]
क्या-क्या जुगत करते हैं ये मजदूर जीने के लिए
खून को ईंधन बनाते हैं पसीने के लिए
ये उजाले के लिए दीए बनाते रह गए
बातियां हुशियार थीं सब तेल पीने के लिए[4]
