KHud-kalami se puchha nahin

surmai baadalon ko uda le gai
ras bhari barishen kha gai
ab ufuq par hain zahrab nilahaten
kasni bel diwar par


soi hi rah gai
nargisi phul the
jagte rah gae
champai rangton mein


ajab zardiyan ghul gain
khel rangon ka hai
ot kaghaz ki hai
hath ki be-hunar larzishen


rang kab chun sakin
sochte sochte aankh sakit hui
kaun se rang mein
kaun sa rang hai ghul gaya


aatishin hai dahak
ya gulabi mahak
dekhti bhi nahin
sunghti bhi nahin


chhu ke bhi to yahan se guzarti nahin
kaun si his jaghon
ki jage hua
