tang kamre mein kuchh sanp hain
aur main

farsh par lal aankhen dikhate hue surkh angaron se
khud ko mahfuz rakhne mein masruf hun

aur kamre ki chhat
raushni ki lakiren samete khadi hai

gharaz
panw ko surkh angaron se

sar ko chubhti hui raushni ki lakiron se mahfuz rakhne mein main
munhamik hun

kale pile hare
sanp bhi

mujh ko dasne chale aa rahe hain
magar mein unhen mar dalunga ek din ye mujh ko yaqin hai

phir achanak main ye sochta hun
mere kamre mein rauzan nahin hai koi

jis se baad-e-saba chupke dar aa ke shoalon ko dahka sake
bulb khamosh hai

phir bhala sanp kyun aaenge
jism se waswason ki ye bosida chadar hata kar

saf-suthre se bistar pe main so raha hun
kyun ki pichhle janam se main nirdosh hun

mera tang kamra
mujhe der se tak raha hai
