shahzada lipatta hai mujh se aur dur kahin
chidiya ko sanp nigalta hai

sanson mein ghulti hain sansen aur!
zahr utarta jata hai

lamhat ke nile qatron mein
kanon mein mere ras gholta hai shabdon ka milan! aur man bhitar

ek chikh sunai deti hai
jalti poron mein kanpti hai be-maya lams ki khamoshi

us ke hathon se likhti hun main ishq-badan ki mitti par
us ki aankhon ke goristan mein dekhti hun ek qabr nai

aur shahzade ke sine par sar rakh kar so jati hun
