vida detee ek dubalee baanh see yah med
andhere mein chhootate chupachaap boodhe ped .
khatm hone ko na aaegee kabhee kya
ek ujadee maang see yah dhool dhoosar raah?
ek din kya mujhee ko pee jaegee
yah saphar kee pyaas, abujh, athaah?
kya yahee sab saath mere jaayenge
oonghate kasbe, puraane pul?
paanv mein lipatee huee yah dhanush-see duharee nadee
beendh degee kya mujhe bilakul?
