ek hi bistar par lete hue
kabhi-kabhaar

do jismon ke darmiyan
chand shiknon ka fasla

sadiyon par phail jata hai
us lamhe ke paikar mein

baham paiwast do jismon se
paida hone wala

tisra badan
sari umr

firaq ki ghadiyan ginte ginte
aakhir isi zanjire mein

ek nai kadi ka izafa ban jata hai
aur phir wahi amal

phir wahi zanjira
phir wahi kadi!
