hiroshima ki sar-zamin par
sarkari daftar ke gumbad ke samne

jahan
kai baras pahle

mere hi hathon ne bam giraya tha
aaj main

tarikh ka gunahgar
apne wajud ke mani ki talash mein

sar jhukae khada hun
jahan har jawab faqat sannata hai

na kisi sans ki aawaz
na charagh ki lau

is sannate mein
mere bam se jale ped se

ek ankur phuta
aur mujhe dekh kar

muskura diya
