ab in bosida kaghaz ke pulandon ki
zarurat kya bachi hai

in lifafon par pate sare
purane ho chuke hain

in ko rakhna kis liye
be-rang tahriron mein dube

in khaton ki kyun hifazat chahiye
ye purani filen zae agar ho jaen

to nuqsan kya hai
hath kyun rukte hain

in kaghaz ke tukdon ko jalane mein
ab in ki manawiyat kya bachi hai

itne mah o sal ke baad
is zamane mein

mahak kaisi hai in mein
ya jo khushbu si lapakti hai

to kya hai ye ruton ka kharkhasha ab koi rut hogi ki jis ne
kaghazon par chhod rakkha hai asar

barson guzarte hain
nahin, kuchh bhi nahin yaad aata hai

lekin ye mere hath in ko chhute hi
kyun kanpne lagte hain

pahle bhi to bosida bahut kaghaz jalae hain
na jaane in purani filon par

kaun se guzre hue
lamhon ke sae hain
