Also, this book includes his one of the most famous, beloved poem - chal Patar hun dhoondan chaliye -

ਚੱਲ ਪਾਤਰ ਹੁਣ ਢੂੰਡਣ ਚੱਲੀਏ ਭੁੱਲੀਆਂ ਹੋਈਆਂ ਥਾਂਵਾਂ
ਕਿੱਥੇ ਕਿੱਥੇ ਛੱਡ ਆਏ ਹਾਂ ਅਣਲਿਖੀਆਂ ਕਵਿਤਾਵਾਂ

ਗੱਡੀ ਚੜ੍ਹਨ ਦੀ ਕਾਹਲ ਬੜੀ ਸੀ ਕੀ ਕੁਝ ਰਹਿ ਗਿਆ ਓਥੇ
ਪਲਾਂ ਛਿਣਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਛੱਡ ਆਏ ਸਾਂ ਜੁਗਾਂ ਜੁਗਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਥਾਂਵਾਂ

ਅੱਧੀ ਰਾਤ ਹੋਏਗੀ ਮੇਰੇ ਪਿੰਡ ਉਤੇ ਇਸ ਵੇਲੇ
ਜਾਗਦੀਆਂ ਹੋਵਣਗੀਆਂ ਸੁੱਤਿਆਂ ਪੁਤਰਾਂ ਲਾਗੇ ਮਾਂਵਾਂ
