Ek Manzar

pul ke us sire se aati hui

angusht chehre wali bad-surat aurat ke

laTke hue pistanon par

bhinbhinati makkhiyon ki mari hui aankhon mein

sukhi nadi ke adh-mue meinDakon ki sarsarahaT

langDe bhikari ki pasliyon ke darmiyan

hanpti ikaniyon ki

kashkoli khansi ki maili shiknon mein

rengte bichchhuon ke sae

bason Taxiyon aur rickshawaon ke phisalte pahiyon tale

dauDti saDkon ki riDh ki haDDiyon mein

bikharti hui tirgi ka khurdura lams

meri khiDki ki

chaukor udasi ke pile danton par

jami hui piDhiyon ko khurachne ki

ek aur nakaam koshish ki

siyahiyon mein gum ho jate hain
