pani par ek taswir hamari ubhri thi
ek taswir zamane ki

aur kabhi ye taswiren aapas mein gadmad ho jatin
ek duje mein ghul-mil jatin

phir se juda ho jati thin
pani ke ek qatre ne in aaankhon mein

dekho kaisa khel rachaya
jaane kaisa pani tha us pani par bahte

kaise kaise bazar lage the
kaisi kaisi taswiren

jaane kaun tha
hum apne kurte ke daman se

kis ke aansu ponchh rahe the
phir ek lahr uthi sara bazar is bazar mein, hum donon

gahre pani mein dub rahe the
