main nahin hun magar
ab bhi khilte hain khidki ke daen taraf

phul bal khai uljhi hui bel par
zindagi ke kisi faisle ki

ghadi se ulajhte hue
main khurachta raha tha ye roghan

jami hai yahan aaj tak
nanhe dhabbe mein ek

be-kali mere ehsas ki
aur qalin par

meri pyali se chhalki hui
chae ka ek purana nishan

ab bhi takta hai matyali aankhon se
chhat ki taraf

aaj bhi hain padi shelf par
jo kitaben kharidi thin

main ne bahut pyar se
aaj bhi hain jude

kaghazon ke hasin aainon mein
meri sukhi poron se phute hue

kale harfon ke chehre ajab shan se
main to hairan hun

mujh se mansub har ek shai
jun ki tun hai to kya

ek main hi tha jo
ek main hi tha pani ke

sine pe rakha hua naqsh jo
pal do pal ko bana aur mit bhi gaya
