gahri bhuri aaankhon wala ek shahzada
dur des se
chamkile mushki ghoDe par hawa se baaten karta
jigar jigar karti talwar se jangal kaTta aaya
darwazon se lipTi belen pare haTata
jangal ki banhon mein jakDe mahl ke hath chhuData
jab andar aaya to dekha
shahzadi ke jism ki sari suiyan zang-aluda thin
rasta dekhne wali aanhken
sare shikwe bhula chuki thin!
