एक पेड़ खिड़की से दिखता था मचलता झूलता हमेशा नज़र आता था पर बाहर जब भी मैं जाता था शांत होकर खड़ा हो जाता था वापिस अंदर आने पर मेरे फिर अपना नाच शुरू कर देता था ये सिलसिला काफी दिन चला और थमने का नाम नहीं लिया एक दिन मैंने खिड़की तोड़ दी और फिर कभी बाहर नहीं देखा

The Swing by the Sea

By the sea I was standing by the swing As you came by and sat I stepped back Pulled the swing And let it loose Slowly you opened your wings And everytime the swing came back Your warm wings crashed on me I never saw your face I knew your mind was empty I knew you stared at the horizon Just as I thought The wings would only trace this pendulum You flew towards the setting sun Do you know how to swim? Do you know there's no island in sight? Do you know it will be dark soon? Or that Even if you change your mind You might be too tired to return Or did you fly away Only because you knew this all Another day I would have come with you But I just looked down And kept swinging the swing I'm not your sea I'm not your horizon But I will be here Your shore
