us kamre ki tartib se
main manus tha

us ki har shai se
patthar se diwaron se

chhoti chhoti chizon aur kitabon se
mutarannim aawazon se

shor machate hanste-gate
gahe-gahe lamha-bhar ko

chup ho jate
apne apne aasman se

tanhai mein
sukh aur dukh ki baaten karte logon se

nannhi-munni sargoshi mein jadu bharti
gudiya se

rang lutate us ke nat-khat gudde se
tum to mere apne the

tum ne ye kya kar dala
tum ne apne hath se

meri barson ki manus lakiren
darham-barham kar dalen

aawazon ki ragniyon ki taswiron ki
raushan aankhen

tum to mere apne the
tum ne ye kya kar dala
