gandhi-peas-foundation ke
unchi chhat wale kamre mein paDi

soch rahi thi
main kal id kaise manaungi?

ki zamin phaT gai
bhaunchaal itna tez tha

main bed se gir kar farsh pe aai
bilkul waise hi

jaise pichhli chand raat ko tum ne
mere hathon mein

chuDiyan chaDhate hue
mujhe farsh pe giraya tha

phir id ke din bhi tum ne jhuT bola tha
aur tumhaare jhuT bolne par

sach ki zaban zabh kar ke
main ne jo qurbani di thi

kya id manane ke liye kafi nahin
ye sochte hue

unchi chhat wale kamre mein
chand raat guzar gai
