sare din ki thaki,
viran aur be-masraf raat ko
ek ajib mashghala hath aa gaya hai
ab wo!
sare shahr ki aawara parchhaiyon ko
jism dene ki koshish mein masruf hai
mujhe malum hai
agar gum-nam parchhaiyon ko
un ki pahchan mil gai
to shahr ke muazzaz aur ibaadat-guzar sharif-zade
ham-shakl parchhaiyon ke KHauf se
parchhaiyon mein tabdil ho jaenge
aur
be-masraf din bhar ki thaki hui raat ko
ek aur mashghala mil jaega
