rangon kee mRgatRShNaa kaheen
Daratee hai kainavas kee us saadagee se
jise aakRti ke maadhyam kee aavashyakataa naheen
jo kuchh rache jaane ke liye
naShT hone ko hai taiyaar.

sveekaary hai use meree,
kaa(n)patee ungaliyon kee asthirataa
mere aparipakv arthon kee
mere aspaShT bhaavon kaa vikaar.

tabhee to tab se ab tak
yadyapi bahut baar
ekatrit kiyaa rekhaaon ko,
rachane bhee chaahe seemaaon se
man ke vistaar

phir bhee kalpanaa ko aakRti naa milee
naa koee paryaay, naa koee naam
bichhee hai ab tak mere aur kainavas ke beech
ek anavarat prateekShaa
jo DhoonDh rahee hai apanee boyee riktataaon men
apanee hee sRShTi kaa saar.
...

kh़aalee pannaa kisee khet saa
paD़aa rahataa hai ujaaD़.
k़lam kee nok hee banatee hai
kudaal, ha(n)siyaa aur hal.

hal, jo yaadon ko kuredate hue
ateet ko kharonchate hue
...

agar mainne kisee ke ho(n)Th ke paaTal kabhee choome
agar mainne kisee ke nain ke baadal kabhee choome
      mahaj isase kisee kaa pyaar mujhako paap kaise ho?
      mahaj isase kisee kaa svarg mujh par shaap kaise ho?

   tumhaaraa man agar seenchoo(n)
   gulaabee tan agar seechoo(n) taral malayaj jhakoron se!
   tumhaaraa chitr kheenchoo(n) pyaas ke rangeen Doron se
kalee-saa tan, kiran-saa ...
