sari umr ganwa di humne
saarī umr gañvā dī ham ne
par itnī sī baat bhī ham na jaan sake
khiḌkī kā paT khulte hī jo
lash lash kartā
ek chamaktā manzar ham ko dikhtā hai
kyā vo manzar
khiḌkī kī chaukhaT se bāhar
sabz pahāḌī ke qadmoñ meñ
ik shaffāf nadī se chimTe
patthar par chup chaap khaḌe
ik paikar kā gum-sum manzar hai
jis ko khiḌkī ke khulne na khulne se
kuchh ġharaz nahīñ hai
yā ham
khiḌkī ke andar kā manzar dekh rahe haiñ
saarī umr gañvā dī ham ne
sari umr ganwa di hum ne
par itni si baat bhi hum na jaan sake
khiDki ka paT khulte hi jo
lash lash karta
ek chamakta manzar hum ko dikhta hai
kya wo manzar
khiDki ki chaukhaT se bahar
sabz pahaDi ke qadmon mein
ek shaffaf nadi se chimTe
patthar par chup chap khaDe
ek paikar ka gum-sum manzar hai
jis ko khiDki ke khulne na khulne se
kuchh gharaz nahin hai
ya hum
khiDki ke andar ka manzar dekh rahe hain
sari umr ganwa di hum ne
