fazaen thak chuki hain
jism dhoti gadiyon ki siskiyan

aur saeran ke bain sun sun ke
dar-o-diwar ke nathune jhulasne lag gae barud ki bu se

badan ke chithde chun chun ke ab bezar hain galiyan
wo malba

aag ka chata hua malba
ikattha karte karte khak-dan tang aa chuke hain

magar insan uktata nahin hai
