zakhm-khurda hansi ki sada
aankhon ke rauzan se ghar mein utarti rahi

shishiyan rasmi jumlon ki aaghosh mein kasmasati rahin
be-khwab bistar pe be-rang si titliyan

phadphadati rahin
be-sans sina

phulta aur pichakta raha
dost aur rishta-daron ke juton ke talwe

ghiste rahe
subh jati na thi

sham aati na thi
