Poem	Poetic Drama	Drama	Ghazal	Short Stories	Novel
कहाँ तो तय था	एक कण्ठ विषपायी	और मसीहा मर गया	साये में धूप	मन के कोण	छोटे-छोटे सवाल
कैसे मंजर					आँगन में एक वृक्ष
खंडहर बचे हुए हैं					दुहरी जिंदगी
जो शहतीर है
ज़िंदगानी का कोई मकसद
मुक्तक
आज सड़कों पर लिखे हैं
मत कहो, आकाश में
धूप के पाँव
गुच्छे भर अमलतास
सूर्य का स्वागत
आवाजों के घेरे
जलते हुए वन का वसन्त
आज सड़कों पर
आग जलती रहे
एक आशीर्वाद
आग जलनी चाहिए
मापदण्ड बदलो
कहीं पे धूप की चादर
बाढ़ की संभावनाएँ
इस नदी की धार में
हो गई है पीर पर्वत-सी
