aarzu anginat pedon ka jangal hai
aur is jangal ke ek ped ki ek mamuli si shakh par

wo parinda rahta hai jis ki talash mein
lakhon surma mare mare phirte hain

aur parinde ko nahin pate
kyunki ye parinda sirf khamoshi ki aawaz mein bolta hai

aur sirf andhere mein nazar aata hai
lekin ped ke tane mein rahne wala rupahla sanp

aksar parinde tak pahunch jata hai
kyunki ye sanp na dekh sakta hai

aur na sun sakta hai
