Aasmaan ke paar

Baadlon ki doosri duniya bhi hoti hai

Aankhon mein basi

surk hatheliyon ki lakeeron se gujarti

har dam sarkti lekin

kabhi kahin pahunchti nahin

Badhti hai kyunki khyaalon ke pankh hote hain

Uda le jaate hain is aasmaan ke us paar

Waapas aana nahin hota, bas

Sapne bunate hain

Un sapnon ki kaleen pe udkar

Dekh aate hain is duniya ka haal

mausam badla

to odh lete hain rang birangi odhni

kaali, safed, bhoori, peeli, sunahari

Jaise baarish ko dekh

Sir chhipaane ko

Odh li ho chunari kisi ne

Aur jab,

Saagar bulata hai apne aseem vistaar ki or

Sharma jaate hai

Thaki awaaz mein kahte hain

Yeh duniya

us duniya sareekhi hi hai

Alag kya hai bhala

Wahan bhi suraj ki garmi banaati hai humein

Aur baarish ka mausam humein

pighla deta hai

Sapnon mein aisa to nahin hona chahiye na!

Bolo, main kya jawaab doon

is rumaaniyat se bhare sawaal ka.

har subah ka ashaar

Ahale subah har din

ashaar likh jaata hai koi

alfaaz pahunchte hain paas

lekin kuchh chup se

thode sahme, thode naraaz

par maan jaane ko taiyaar

main kuchh bhi kahoon

sunte zaroor hain

par haalaat, tabiyat, aur mausam

maayne tay karte hain unke

mann karta hai poochhoon

kaun hai jo likhta hai har din

kaun hai jo har din yaad karta hai mujhe

Lekin unhein bhi pata nahin

yeh main jaanta hoon

................

Udhaar

Udhaar doston ke paas rahe
dosti maine rakh li.

Khuda ne kaha

Turup ka patta woh tha

Chaal meri thi

Khuda ne kaha

Aawaargi

Hatheli pe boondon ko uthaao
Sarak jaate hain lakeeron ke beech

Aawargi boond ki fitrat, ya lakeeron ki.

Thakan

Udaasiyon ki ghadi thakaati hai aankhein

Tumhari kami ek gehra bojh hai

Thak gya bahut, chalo neend acchhi aayegi.
