Main kaun hoon : A poem on situation of women
मैं कौन हूं दुर्गा चण्डी काली
या जान की प्याली
मैं कौन हूं मां बेटी बहन बहू
या नाजायज़ लहू
मैं कौन हूं देश की इज़्ज़त, देश का सम्मान
या फिर वेश्या या सामान
मैं कौन हूं मोती चांदी सोना
या कोई खिलौना
चुडैल डायन हैवान या कोई इंसान
मैं कौन हूं
ज़मीन बताए, अम्बर बताए या फिर आप बताएं
मैं कौन हूं

Hum to ladenge, hum na darenge : A child sings
हम तो लडेंगे, हम न डरेंगे
ये हाहाकार अत्याचार हम न सहेंगे
जहां हक न मिले मेरा तेरा वहीं लडेंगे
जिन रगों में खून था आ भर लो उसमें बिजलियां
बिजलियों से खाक कर दो सोने की वो बस्तियां
उस खाक से फूटेगा अपनी ज़िन्दगी का फूल
फिर महकेगी ज़िन्दगी होगा न कोई शूल
एक से कदम है यारा, एक कदमताल है
एक सी आवाज़ अपनी एक सा अंदाज़ है
हम ज़ोर से जो थाप दें तो तख्त हिलेगा
फिर गरजेगी धरती आकाश हिलेगा
