Aaj samajh ki choukhat par khadi hai duvidhaae kai,Kahi toh bacche byah rahe ,Kahi par beti mar rahi,Kahi naari par atyachar,Kahi hai saksharta hi nahi,Kahi par parde mein naari,Kahi jati-jati nyari ,Ab aur nahi sehna hai hame ,Ab aur nahi darna hai hame ,In khokhle reeti-rivajo mein ab aur nhi behna hai hame,Todenge bedi samajh ki ham ,Rachenge naya itihaas bhi ham,Rachenge naya itihaas bhi ham………..
