zanjiron mein jakde hue qaidi ki surat
reg ke sail mein ek bagula

hanp raha hai
apne wajud se khauf-zada hai

gard-o-ghubar-e-khwab se
dhund ka nanha nuqta phail raha hai

aur ufuq us ki zad mein hai
meri aanhken dasht-e-khala mein

nur ki ek lakir ko banta dekh rahi hain
lekin main ye soch raha hun

meri zamin kis ki had mein hai
