soch rahi hun
armanon ke pinjre se

panchhi ko aazad karun main
dil ke bahlane ko main ne

ghar ke gul-danon mein kab se
murda khwab saja rakhe hain

kamre ko kuchh saf karun main
sandal ki lakdi ke niche

dhire dhire chillati
ek aas rakhi hai

ek kone mein
jiti marti khwahish ki

ek sans padi hai
jaane kitne barson ki

aatish-dan mein rakh padi hai
