શકય હો તો, કર કદી આવી કમાલ
રાખ કોરા પગ અને પાણીમાં ચાલ
એમના ઉત્તરની માણું છું મજા
કયાં હવે છે યાદ પણ મારો સવાલ
હા, વસી છે એમાં ખુશબૂ કોઇની
ના અમસ્તી સાચવી છે મેં ટપાલ
ખ્યાલની ખોટી બધી બાંહેધરી
કોઇ ના રાખે છે કોઇનો ખયાલ
આમ તો દરવાજા ઊઘડશે નહીં
તારે શાયદ તોડવી પડશે દીવાલ
કોડિયુંયે જેમના ઘરમાં નથી
હોલવી નાખી છે એ લોકે મશાલ
ચાલ ‘દિપક’, એમની શેરી મહીં
આજ નાખી આવીએ થોડો ગુલાલ
