zindagi apni raftar se chal rahi thi
ek din

hawaon ne zor pakda
tufan aa gaya

bagh ke sare pedon ko hila gaya
hawaen shaen shaen karti rahin

chhote bade paude chinghadte rahe
ped jhum jhum kar nidhaal ho gae

aur aakhir-e-kar
thak kar behaal ho gae

achanak zor ki charcharahat hui
bagh ka sin-rasida darakht

zamin-bos ho gaya
andhera chhane laga

bijli kadakne lagi
phuwar padne lagi

aur aahista aahista
zindagi apni raftar par chalne lagi
