18 nambar bench par koee nishaan nahin
chaaron or ghaasaphoos –- jangalee hariyaalee
keede-makode machchhar andhera . varsha se dhulee
haree-chikanee kaee kee lasalas
cheentiyon ke bhurebhure bil –- sannaata
baitha sannaata . kshan vah dhul-punchh baraabar
kaun yahaan aaya badalatee prakrti ke alaava
prashaasanik bhavan se door kulasachiv ke suraksha-gord
kee nazaron se baahar rtvik ghatak kee dolatee
dubalee chhaaya se utar kaun yahaan aaya
ekaant kee mrtyu bas roz raat -– vyarth
vrkshon kee chhidaree chhaanh, jhoomatee hava kee cheetkaar sang
main phirata vahaan
sab kuchh guzarata hai chupachaap
aaj raat nahin koee vahaan
baat nahin koee
jhanpatee aankh nahin koee .
