ek sahra aasman se wasia
ek samandar

is wishaal samandar mein
ek hath larazta hua ret ke chand zarron ko

mutthi mein dabae
ek chehra

zard pazhmurda kumhlaya hua
sisakta raha rota raha

uljha hua khaufnak mazi ki yaadon mein
jal bunta raha

zehn mein
fasle daudte rahe

simatte rahe
pighalte rahe

aur isi kashmakash mein
ek safina dub gaya

is wishaal samundar mein
