bahut der se jal raha tha
ek charagh

us band kamre mein
suraj ka ek tukda

hatheli se bat ke
batti bana li thi

chand ke koele se
aag laga rakkhi thi

mitti ke gamle mein
raushni uga rakkhi thi

bujha diya tha main ne
khud apne hi hath se

phir der tak
us ke dhuen mein

dam ghutta raha
usi sham

dil ke band kamre mein
bujhaya tha main ne

ek rishta
aaj tak

dhuen se mera
dam ghutta hai
