subh se sham tak
lakdiyan chirna

us ka barson ka mamul hai
us ka jism

lakdi ke burade mein
dafn hone laga hai

use roti bhi
burade ki bani hui lagti hai

us ke hath biwi ko
sukhe darakht ki tarah mahsus karte hain

lakdiyon ke darmiyan rahte rahte
wo

khud ko bhi
lakdi ka aadmi samajhne laga hai

waqt guzarne ke sath sath
us ka ye khayal mazbut hota jata hai

aur ek din
aara machine bhi

is se muttafiq ho jati hai
