sirf do rajavaade the –
ek ne mujhe aur use
bedakhal kiya tha
aur doosare ko
ham donon ne tyaag diya tha.
nagn aakaash ke neeche –
main kitanee hee der –
tan ke menh mein bheegatee rahee,
vah kitanee hee der
tan ke menh mein galata raha.
phir barason ke moh ko
ek zahar kee tarah peekar
usane kaanpate haathon se
mera haath pakada!
chal! kshanon ke sir par
ek chhat daalen
vah dekh! pare – saamane udhar
sach aur jhooth ke beech –
kuchh khaalee jagah hai…
