maut ka intizar safed chaak se
aasman ke siyah mathe par

do nam
ek allah ka ek rasul ka

phir safed chaak
donon honton ke darmiyan

us ka dudh shir aur shahad mila
baen jaanib mud kar

ek diwar par karl marx ka nam
us par ugi huin khaufnak zabanen

aur
us ke atraf khule ho bijli ke tar

sanp laplapate hue
daen jaanib

ek khuli hui khidki
ek jhonpadi jis mein nahati hui ek

doshiza
pistanon se ubharti hui zarkhezi

kulhon par chamakti hui dhup
khudawand zamin raushan ho rahi hai

aankhen band
tute hue khilaunon ki dukan

aur un mein pade hue
langde ghode aur be-sund hathi

waqt bada wazni hai
aur sust raftar
