Ek din
achaanak se
aankh kehti hai
"Doston!"
Mujhe dikh rahi hai
ek sundar ghaati.
Oonche oonche pahaad
rang-birange phool
kalkal karta behta paani
chahakti machalti hui chidiya
aur vishal neela ambar.
Kitna khoobsurat nazaara hai!"
Kaan
sab sunta hai.
aur kehta hai
"Kahaan hai chidiya?
Mujhe toh nahin sunai de rahi
koi chahakne ki aawaaz!"
Haath bola
"Kahaan hai paani?
Kahaan hai pahaad?
Meri pakad mein toh
kuchh nahin aa raha!"
Naak kehti hai
"Kahaan hain phool?
Mujhe toh koi khushboo nahin aa rahi!"
Sab sunkar
aankh
leti hai ek thandi aah
aur kho jaati hai
nihaarne mein
uss addbhut nazaare ko.
Aur yahaan
kaan, haath aur naak
aapas mein budbuda rahe hain
"Raat ko zyada
pee lee lagta hai."
