motor ke pahiye bijli ke khambe pe chand chhinte kuchh
chikni sadak pe dur tak ek surkh si lakir

footpath pe kuchh ja-ba-ja dhabbe siyah o surkh
nali ke gadle pani ke sine pe chand dagh

baundary-wall par bhi kuchh spot khurdure
chehron pe rahgiron ke na-khush-gawar naqsh

mahaul mein ek lamha ko be-nam sa tanaw
aankhen meri ubal padin hairan rah gaya

goya ki aaj tak ka kiya raegan gaya
dariya agar nahin to rawan ju-e-khun sahi
