suraj har roz
meri aankhon mein bhari hui

aur shayad mari hui nind ko dekh kar
apne din ka aaghaz karta hai

main
ghar se daftar jati hui sadak par

rengta hua
aane wali naslon par ehsan karta hun

main daftar apni marzi se jata hun
lekin daftar mein meri marzi ka kaam nahin hota

main kaghaz par khwab aur dukh ek sath likh kar
ghar lautta hun

ghar ki be-tartibi aur unghti hui diwaren
mera istiqbaal karti hain

main bistar par sone ke liye lautta hun
aur jagta rahta hun

wo
diary mein khud-sakhta dukh likhti hai

aur sukun se so jati hai
