ek mujawwaf adse se
main duniya ko dekh raha tha

jangal maidan ret ke tile
saql-e-zamin se apna rishta tod rahe the

dur kinare dariya ke
sath purana chhod rahe the

bahti hawaon ke daman ko
girte parbat tham rahe the

aur un sab ke pichhe
meri aankhen phail gai thin

meri nak bahut lambi thi
wo boli pahchano

aahista se pichhe aa kar kis ne aankhen munden
adsa phenk ke main ne us ke dast-e-hinai tham liye

aur us ki aaghosh mein chhup kar
jaane kab tak roya
