chalte hue is pagdandi par
jab samne ped aa jate the

hota hai guman had aa pahunchi
kahte the qadam ab laut chalo

ab laut chalo us rah pe jis se aae the
kuchh dur pe ja kar lekin ye mud jati thi

pedon ki safon mein tezi se ghus jati thi
bikhre hue patte os mein tar

chhanti hui kirnon ka sona
chup-chap fazaon ki khushbu

nagah kisi tair ke paron ki ghabrahat
hum aa gae in maidanon mein

phaile hue maidan aur ufuq ki pahnai
ab aao yahan se ghar loten

chalte hue is pagdandi par
