Bam Dhamaka

sarma ki be-rahm faza mein

surKH lahu ne bahte bahte

hairani se

tapti hui is KHak ko dekha

abhi to main in nili garm ragon mein

kaise dauD raha tha

bujhti hui ek sans ki lau ne

apne nanhe jiwan ki

is aaKHiri tez kaTili hichki ko jhaTka

do KHali nazren

dur dhuwen ke par

kahin kuchh DhunD rahi thin

abhi abhi to nila ambar

bahen khole tana khaDa tha

mandi mandi si dhup

yahan kone mein aa kar leT gai thi

phir kis ne is jite-jagte

manzar mein ye aag bhari hai

kali faza mein uDte reshe

aadhi-adhuri be-bas lashen

surKH lahu ne hairani se

jale hue manzar ko dekha

aaKHiri tez kaTili hichki

TuT rahi thi
