एक बची खुची खुशी को थैले में डाल जब लौटता है वह उसके सहारे तो ज़िन्दगी का अगला दिन पाट देता है उसकी रात रंगीन सपनों से - सपने जो अधूरी आंकांक्षाओं की पूर्ति ही नहीं एक संकल्पित भविष्य भी होते हैं।

समझौते पर विवश आदमी से बस इतनी ही प्रार्थना है मेरी कि बचे न बचे कुछ पर बची रहे हर शाम उसके पास एक थोड़ी-सी खुशी - उसका सहारा जिसे थैले में डाल लौट सके वह घर डग भरता उत्सुक

कि बचे रहें उसके पास भी कुछ सपने कि बीते न उसकी रात सूनी आँखों में।
