a poem written for Pranava's school annual day function, where a musical play was staged on the theme of five elements of nature being disharmonised by man. हवा (Air) बहती थी , चलती थी, कभी निर्मल थी ये ह्वा , अब बन गयी है  देखो,बस घुँआ ही घुँआ. दूषित हो गयी है इंसान की एक- एक साँस घुट - घुट कर मर रही है, जीवन की आखरी आस । पानी (Water) कभी प्रेम की वर्षा करता, कभी बिन बरसे चल जाता है  कभी समुद्र से ये उफनता, कभी आकाश से प्रलय बरसाता है  कभी अन चाहा तूफ़ान लाकर, जग जीवन को तड़पाता है, कहीं - कहीं पर ओझल होकर, सृष्टि को तरसाता है। धरती (Earth) कट  रहे वृक्ष , हर तरफ भुकमरी, धरती भी फट रही, पेट की...

"माँ "सुन कर मेरा मन भी .. उन बीते वर्षो में खो जाता है   वो माँ जो अपनी गोदी में मुझको रोज सुलाती थी वो माँ जो मेरी किलकारी में अपने सारे दुख बिसऱाती थी वो माँ जो मेरे प्रश्नों में उलझ के मुझे समझाती थी वो  माँ जो मेरी खुशियों में  अपना सारा जीवन जी जाती थी उस माँ ने मुझको लेकर नित  कितने सपने बुने थे  मेरी वरमाला के फूल उसने  अपने हाथों से ही चुने थे  ...
