kuchh log bhagte hue mare gae
aur kuchh paidal chalte hue

kaam par jaane walon ka rukh ghar ki taraf ho gaya
aur ghar jaane wale

qabristan pahunch gae
diwar ke pichhe chhupe hue log bhi mare gae

aur apne ghar ka darwaza band karne wale bhi
chhat par soe hue log bhi khatm hue

khidkiyon se jhankte hue bhi
har sadak par maut chal rahi thi

aur har diwar par
us ke hathon ke nishan maujud the

kapde ko pani mein dubo kar jo log
diwaren saf kar rahe the

wo bhi aakhir mein mare gae
