mainne kathaitee haddiyon vaala ek haath dekha–
rang mein kaala aur dhun mein kathor .
mainne us haath kee aatma dekhee–
saanvalee aur komal
aur katha-kahaaniyon se bharapoor !
mainne pattharon mein khincha
sannaata dekha .
jise sanskrti kahate hain .
mainne ek aankh vaala
itihaas dekha
jise filahaal saty kahate hain .
