    yak-rañg meñ saikaḌoñ rañg hote haiñ

    halke, gahre, maddham shaffāf

    raushniyoñ se bhare, chamakte, jagmagāte

    surma.ī abreshmī naqābeñ Daale

    ghule mile

    dhuup chhāñv āñkh-mīcholī khelte

    anokhe nuqūsh meñ ubhre uḌte hue

    phir itne gambhīr

    jaise jahāzoñ ke lañgar

    in meñ lahreñ hotī haiñ

    taḌaptī bechain tūfānī

    aur aisī bhī

    jin par sukūn ke saa.e

    chhā.e hue hote haiñ

    lekin un ke nīche

    pahāḌī jharnoñ tezī, tilmilāhaT

    justujū lahak

    aarzū pāgal mahak

    chhupī hotī hai

    aur jab ka.ī rañg

    un be-shumār tarañgeñ

    tarah tarah chhoTī baḌī

    chhupī aur zāhir lahreñ

    miltī ek dūsre se Takrātī haiñ

    tab na.e hairat-nāk hayūle

    aadhe puure bal khāte dā.ere

    mauhūm lakīreñ

    lā-javāb shakleñ

    aur aise paikar jo kisī dūsrī chiiz tarah nahīñ hote

    lekin jo ḳhud apnī alag anuup hastī meñ

    na.ī-navelī dulhan

    nau-zā.ida bachche tarah

    insānī uñgliyoñ zehn aur ruuh ye karishma

    zabān ye jauhrī dhamāka

    zindagī ko par lagā detā hai

    use itnā ūñchā uḌā le jaatā hai

    jahāñ se is dhartī

    aur is par basne vāloñ ko

    ham yuuñ dekhte haiñ

    jaise tītof ne use dekhā thā

    aur us sab achchhā.iyoñ

    yak-rang mein saikaDon rang hote hain

    halke, gahre, maddham shaffaf

    raushniyon se bhare, chamakte, jagmagate

    surmai abreshmi naqaben Dale

    ghule mile

    dhup chhanw ki aankh-micholi khelte

    anokhe nuqush mein ubhre uDte hue

    ya phir itne gambhir

    jaise jahazon ke langar

    in mein lahren hoti hain

    taDapti bechain tufani

    aur aisi bhi

    jin par sukun ke sae

    chhae hue hote hain

    lekin un ke niche

    pahaDi jharnon ki tezi, tilmilahaT

    justuju ki lahak

    aarzu ki pagal mahak

    chhupi hoti hai

    aur jab kai rang

    un ki be-shumar tarangen

    tarah tarah ki chhoTi baDi

    chhupi aur zahir lahren

    milti ek dusre se Takraati hain

    tab nae hairat-nak hayule

    aadhe pure bal khate daere

    mauhum lakiren

    la-jawab shaklen

    aur aise paikar jo kisi dusri chiz ki tarah nahin hote

    lekin jo KHud apni alag anup hasti mein

    nai-naweli dulhan

    nau-zaida bachche ki tarah

    achchhe lagte hain

    wajud mein aa jate hain

    jhilmilate dhabbon ka ye shoala

    insani ungliyon zehn aur ruh ka ye karishma

    zaban ka ye jauhri dhamaka

    zindagi ko par laga deta hai

    use itna uncha uDa le jata hai

    jahan se is dharti

    aur is par basne walon ko

    hum yun dekhte hain

    jaise titof ne use dekha tha

    aur us ki sab achchhaiyon

    KHubsurtiyon

    is ki KHushbuon

    latafaton ranginiyon ka partaw

    hamari ruhon par bhi paDta hai

    hum badal jate hain

    aisa hi ek chhitr

    tum ko malum nahin

    kin aasmani rangon se khincha

    apsaraon ki na jaane kaisi jadu mudraon se bhara

    sowarg ke kaun se madhur ragon mein Dhaala

    aur chupke se

    man ke garm tapte aangan mein rakh diya

    dafatan hazaron bahaaren jag paDin

    gulabi pankhuDiyan barasne lagin

    mahakti hawaon se

    halki halki ThanDi narmiyan Tapak paDin

    aur zindagi ki KHali mang

    sindoor se bhar gai!
