अगर तुम छुपी रहोगी ज्यादा देर
मैं खोजने के लिए तुम्हें, कवितायेँ भेजूंगा अपनी
फिर चाहे तुम छुपी हो सागर में, आकाश में
या पृथ्वी के किसी अबूझे कोने में
ये कवितायेँ ढूंढ ही लेंगी तुम्हें
जैसे सपने ढूंढ लेते हैं आँखों को
…
जैसे पंछी, ढूंढ लेते हैं आसमानों को
…

if you’ll stay hidden for long
i’ll send my poems to seek you out
then, even if you are hidden in the sea or the sky
or in some unsolved corner of the earth
find you will, these poems of mine
…
like, dreams find the eyes
…
like birds find the skies
