zindagi ki chattanon se
sazaon ka samundar takrata hai
aur safed chattanen samundar ki kaali kar dene vaali taqat se be-khabar
khvabon ke ghurur se labrez hain
paani chattanon men raste banata rahta hai
aur aise men koi nahin janta
ham azadi ke jog men
tanhai ke kis kis jangal men bhatke hain
azadi ke libas ko apna badan samajh kar
vahshi sannaton ki aamad se be-khabar
ham kahan kahan bhatke hain
aur jab libas phat jaate hain
ham in chithdon ko apne be-libas tanhaiyon men
yuun chhupa lete hain
jaise zinda maan ki ankhen murda bachche ki akhiri didar ko chhupa leti hain
to aise men samundar sailab ho jaata hai
aur safed chattanen
sazaon men dafn
apne alava sab kuchh bhuul jaane par majbur ho jaati hain
ham sailab men na bahe jaane ka dukh liye
nindon tak aa jaate hain
aur ham chattanon se guzarne vaale paani ke raste band nahin kar sakte to
hans dete hain
aur nindon ki bhiik jama karte karte
vahshi sannaton ki aamad ke haul men
ham sona bhuul jaate hain
