lapakta surkh imkan
jo mujhe aainda ki

dahliz par la kar khada karne ki khwahish mein
machalta hai

mere hathon ko chhu kar
mujh se kahta hai

tumhaari ungliyon mein
khun kam kyun hai

tumhaare nakhunon mein zardiyan kis ne sajai hain
kalai se

nikalti haddiyon par
un kam kyun hai

main us se
na-tawan si ek sada mein

puchhta hun
is se pahle tum kahan the

is se pahle bhi yahi sari zaminen thin
yahi sab aasman the

aur meri aankh mein
nile hare ke darmiyan

ek rang shayad aur bhi tha
ab mere andar na jhanko

mere baatin mein musalsal tairti hai unghti duniya sarabon ki
nafi sare hisabon ki
