(Poem 6 of 12)
wattan dian taanghaN


nang kangla harijan ho, bhaweiN sardar, ghare ho rehsi.
pata lagda ujhaRh ke te, nahi koi cheez wattan de jaisee.
bann Tutt giya sabar da ji, ghammaN di nehar charhgiyaN kaaNgaaN...
mainu uThday baiThde nu, rehan har waqat wattan dian taaNgaN...

dheh gaye kingray dilaN de jee, merian rehan daleelaN diggian.
main waangh shudaiyean de, niwiN paa beh jaaN dhaal ke riggiaN.
ratt simmdi akhiyaN choN, jigar par maare vichhorha saaNgaN...

heThoN dharti nikkal joo gi, karaN varnan jo siraN te varti.
kisay veilay bhullde naaN, AmmaN de koThay Baap di dharti.
yaaran naal neetni si, kitoN na sun'nan shauNk diaN baaNgaN...

paunday ghumraN lehNgay ji, kurtiyaN maRhiyaN naal katoonaN.
behke sath ch vekhday si, paani jaan bharan bhabiaN moonaN.
vela chetay aa je jee, sutta piya uTh paaN maarke chaaNgaN...

mainu rakh lo nagar mein jee, nagar de loko hathaN dian vaaho.
"Babu" jaan devna naaN, daas di kabar banaa lo Saho.
laash dabb diyo gaam meiN jee, sache koll bhaur pahunch  joo 'gaaN-'gaaN...

mainu uThday baithde nu, rehan har waqat wattan dian taaNgaN.....
