dheere-dheere beetee saanjh
dheere-dheere dooba kshitij andhere kee lay mein
vilay hua main baitha van ke beech
chhavi meree gum huee pattharon ke
oobadakhaabadapan mein, baitha patthar ek
prateeksha ghaayal . lahoo chandrama
utha achaanak baadal ka dil phaad
hamaare hrday-desh mein hua ujaala
gaadha-gaadha maddhim-maddhim raktim
smrti lautee phir kisakee
thaga hua main
hua tirohit
pachhataave ke andhe
tam mein .
