hawa lal inton ki galiyon se guzarti silan-zada kothariyon mein bachche janti hai ghuti ghuti sansen leti hui jab bahar nikalti hai to thand se kubdi ho chuki hoti hai sidha chalne ki khwahish mein unche niche raston par ghodon ke sumon tale kichad mein lat-pat sar patakhti uthne ki koshish karti hai aur rengte rengte kisi haweli mein ja ghusti hai jahan raat ka sannata bain kar raha hota hai qadmon ki manus si chapon se haweli ke sannaton mein gunj ki daraden padne lagti hain hawa kise dhundhti hai wo jaanti hai ki pasaron mein ajdad ke fan ka loha sanduqon mein bhara pada hai purkhon ke afkar shelfon par qarine se saje hain ek bade kamre mein gol mez par kroshiye se kadhe hue rumal mein us ne apni aankhen bhi kadh di hain wo roti hui rumal mein kadhi hui aankhon ko chumti hai aur haweli ke dar-o-diwar se lipti hui aakhiri nishani talash kar rahi hoti hai ki sannata chikh uthta hai
