sham dhale
church-gate ke us taraf

bikha bahram ka kuan
cross-maidan ke footpath par bane

barson purane benchon par baithe hue
barson purane parsi

safed lamba coat
siyah qadim kulah

khamosh aur gambhir
khoi khoi nazren jamae

jaise purane bambai ki ruh
aa nikli ho

aaj ki sham ka koi manzar dekhne
