kapade sookh rahe hain
hazaaron-hazaar
mere ya na jaane kis ke kapade
rassiyon par tange hain
aur sookh rahe hain
main pichhale kaee dinon se
shahar mein kapadon ka sookhana dekh raha hoon
main dekh raha hoon hava ko
vah pichhale kaee dinon se kapade sukha rahee hai
unhen phir se dhaagon aur kapaas mein badalatee huee
kapadon ko dhun rahee hai hava
kapade phir se bune ja rahe hain
phir se kaate aur sile ja rahe hain kapade
aadamee ke haath
aur ghutanon ke baraabar
main dekh raha hoon
dhoop der se loha garama rahee hai
haath aur ghutanon ko
baraabar karane ke lie
kapade sookh rahe hain
aur subah se dheere-dheere
garm ho raha hai loha.
