kabhee-kabhee lagataa hai
jaise ghar kee pakkee chhat, deevaaren, chaukhaTen
meree garam saa(n)son se pighal kar
mom-see bah gaee hain.
keval ye khiḌakiyaa(n)-daravaaje jaise
kabhee khule hee naheen;
jakaḌe rah gae hain.
chaa(n)d-taare sab
kaale paḌe hue
jhooThe salame-sitaaron kaa kaam hain.
jaise is gulajaar galee men
kaheen koee naheen,
keval naam hain.
jaise har nayaa din
ek aalasee, be-kahe naukar-saa
jhu(n)jhalaataa aataa hai
aur dhool-bhare aa(n)gan ko
be-man se jhaaḌ kar
chalaa jaataa hai.
