yeh zindagi
aaj jo tumhare
badan ki choti-babhi nason(veins) mein
machal rahi hai
tumhare pairon se chal rahi hai
tumharii awaaz mein galey se nikal rahi hai
tumhare lafzon mein Dhal rahi hai
yeh zindagi
jaane kitani sadiyon se
yuun hi shaklein
badal rahi hai
badalati shaklon
badalate jismon mein
chaltaa-phirtaa yeh ek sharaaraa
jo is vaqt
naam hai tumhara
isi se saari chahal-pahal hai
isi se roshan hai har nazaaraa
sitaare todo ya ghar basaao
qalam uThaao yaa sar jhukaao
tumhari aaNkhon ki roshni tak
hai khel saraa
yeh khel hogaa nahin dubaaraa
