thakan
ghuTnoñ pe rakh kar haath uThī
thakī āvāz meñ bolī
bahut lambā safar hai
umr ke muñh zor dariyā kā
ukhaḌte pattharoñ
chiknī phisaltī sā.atoñ kā
ye safar
mushkil bahut hai
thakan
bojhal manoñ bojhal badan apnā
uThā kar chal paḌī
chaltī rahī
phir ek din
bhārī papoToñ ko uThā kar
us ne dekhā
rāste ke beach
ek bargad purānā
samādhī oḌh kar baiThā huā thā
thakan

chalo ham bhī yahāñ ruk kar
samādhī oḌh lete haiñ
chalo ham bhī utarte haiñ
ḳhud apnī tah ke andar
aur ḳhud ko DhūñDte haiñ
abad tak
niiñd ke dariyā meñ ham bhī ūñghte haiñ
thakan

umr ke munh zor dariya ka

boli
chalo hum bhi yahan ruk kar
samadhi oDh lete hain
chalo hum bhi utarte hain
KHud apni tah ke andar
aur KHud ko DhunDte hain
abad tak
nind ke dariya mein hum bhi unghte hain
thakan
ghuTnon pe rakh kar hath
uThi
thaki aawaz mein boli
bahut lamba safar hai
