सुबह कीख़ामोश रास्तों पररोशनी की किरण हूँ में रात कीसोए हुए अंधेरों कीपहली सुबह हूँ मैं ख़्वाबों के अधूरे अल्फ़ाज़ों कीअनकही कहानी हूँ में सफ़र कीअनजान राहों काअकेला राही हूँ मैं मंज़िलों कीपहचान नहीं हैंशायद पहुँच गया हूँ मैं

Hurtling at urgent speedI look out of the windowAmazed In my belted seatI am staticSuspended Bathed in reflected lightIn an illusion of speedLiving a dream

Jana kahan hai
