main ek daravaaza thee
mujhe jitana peeta gaya
main utana hee khulatee gaee.
andar aae aane vaale to dekha–
chal raha hai ek vrihatchakr–
chakkee rukatee hai to charakha chalata hai
charakha rukata hai to chalatee hai kainchee-suee
garaz yah ki chalata hee rahata hai
anavarat kuchh-kuchh!
…aur ant mein sab par chal jaatee hai jhaadoo
taare buhaaratee huee
buhaaratee huee pahaad, vrksh, patthar–
srshti ke sab toote-bikhare qatare jo
ek tokaree mein jama karatee jaatee hai
mann kee duchhattee par.
