main ne
apne mutale ki table se

apni sari nazmen utha kar
kapdon ki almari mein rakh din

taki
na main nazmon ko dekhun

na wo mujhe aankhen dikhaen
magar jab bhi

main almari ka pat kholti
darzon se jhankti nazmen

roti chikhti aur main
jaldi se almari band kar deti

aaj bahut dinon baad
main ne

jab almari kholi to
ghup khamoshi mujhe takkar takkar dekhne lagi

main ne dare sahme
junhi locker khola to

gili-sili nazmen
meri dabdabaati aankhon mein

aan baithi hain
hamesha hamesha ke liye
