Makan

ek luDhki hui wadi mein

bahut niche KHalaon se

jahan dhundli fazaon ka chalan hai

KHasta sa ek makan mujh ko wirasat mein mila hai

jis tarah sukh ke zaKHmon se gira karti hai papDi

us ki diwaron se is tarah se girta hai plastar

ek panw pe khaDe sare sutun thak se gae hain

KHurda danton ki tarah hilti hain har taq mein inTen

moch khai hui kuchh khiDkiyan tirchhi si khaDi hain

kanch dhundlae hue chaTKHe hue

pahle bahar ki taraf khulti thin aflak ki jaanib

ab ye andar bhi nahin khultin agar sans ghuTe

abr-alud hain ab

aur hawaon mein bhi suraKH paDe hain

mera paidaeshi ghar hai mujhe rahna hai yahin par

ek maila sa falak hai to mere sar pe abhi tak

Darta hun gir na paDe sote mein ek roz kahin
