bhut
thā kuchh roz pahle mirā bail khoyā
isī fikr meñ maiñ na us raat soyā
use DhūñDhne muñh añdhere maiñ niklā
idhar us ko DhūñDā udhar us ko DhūñDā
talāsh us ko kartā huā maiñ chalā thā
simaT aayā tan meñ bas ik zalzala sā
mire sāmne bhuut aayā achānak
baḌā ḳhaufnāk aur baḌā hī bhayānak
phañsī halq meñ chīḳh patthar the paañv
chalī aa rahī thī vo ḳhuñḳhār chhāñv
gale paḌ ga.ī thī ajab raat ḳhūnī
mujhe rok paa.ī na thī bad-shugūnī
mirā rāsta kaaT baiThī thī billī
phaḌaktī thī do roz se aañkh merī
magar maiñ na samjhā magar maiñ na jaanā
kahā maiñ ne apne ko ḳhabtī divāna
thā lohār kī dhoñknī merā siina
huā jā rahā thā pasīna pasīna
nigāhoñ se bijlī girāne hī ko thī
bas ab vo balā TuuT jaane hī ko thī
ka.ī lamhe is taur se maiñ ne dekhā
khulā raaz jab ġhaur se maiñ ne dekhā
nigāheñ añdhere meñ chamkā rahā thā
mirā bail mere qarīb aa rahā thā
tha kuchh roz pahle mera bail khoya
isi fikr mein main na us raat soya
use DhunDhne munh andhere main nikla
idhar us ko DhunDa udhar us ko DhunDa
talash us ko karta hua main chala tha
simaT aaya tan mein bas ek zalzala sa
mere samne bhut aaya achanak
baDa KHaufnak aur baDa hi bhayanak
phansi halq mein chiKH patthar the panw
chali aa rahi thi wo KHunKHar chhanw
gale paD gai thi ajab raat KHuni
mujhe rok pai na thi bad-shuguni
mera rasta kaT baiThi thi billi
phaDakti thi do roz se aankh meri
magar main na samjha magar main na jaana
kaha main ne apne ko KHabti diwana
tha lohaar ki dhonkni mera sina
hua ja raha tha pasina pasina
nigahon se bijli girane hi ko thi
bas ab wo bala TuT jaane hi ko thi
kai lamhe is taur se main ne dekha
khula raaz jab ghaur se main ne dekha
nigahen andhere mein chamka raha tha
mera bail mere qarib aa raha tha
