gosht ki saDkon par
phuul baasī ho ga.e haiñ
lams kī shiddat se thak kar
haath jhūTe ho ga.e haiñ
is jagah kal nahr thī aur aaj dariyā bah rahā hai
būḌhā māñjhī kah rahā hai
ḳhvāhishoñ ke peḌ par laTke hue
sāyoñ ko dīmak khā rahī hai
vaqt kī naalī meñ
sūraj chāñd taare bah rahe haiñ
barf ke jañgal se shole uTh rahe haiñ
ḳhvāb ke jalte hue chīte
merī āñkhoñ meñ aa kar chhup ga.e haiñ
ghar kī dīvāroñ pe
tanhā.ī ke bichchhū reñgte haiñ
tishnagī ke saañp
ḳhālī paanī ke maTke meñ apnā muñh chhupā.e ro rahe haiñ
raat ke bahke hue hāthī
ufuq ke band darvāze pe dastak de rahe haiñ
haath chhoḌo
haath meñ kāñTā chubhā hai
tiin din se phāñs andar hai
nikaltī hī nahīñ
naam kyā hai aur kahāñ rahte ho tum
jaamā masjid ke qarīb
kahte haiñ masjid ke mīnāre bhī the
shahr meñ ik zalzala aayā thā jis se gir ga.e
gosht kī saḌkoñ pe
kaale ḳhuun ke sāyoñ kā sūraj chal rahā hai
lazzatoñ kī aag meñ tan jal rahā hai
phul basi ho gae hain
lams ki shiddat se thak kar
hath jhuTe ho gae hain
is jagah kal nahr thi aur aaj dariya bah raha hai
buDha manjhi kah raha hai
KHwahishon ke peD par laTke hue
sayon ko dimak kha rahi hai
waqt ki nali mein
suraj chand tare bah rahe hain
barf ke jangal se shole uTh rahe hain
KHwab ke jalte hue chite
meri aankhon mein aa kar chhup gae hain
ghar ki diwaron pe
tanhai ke bichchhu rengte hain
tishnagi ke sanp
KHali pani ke maTke mein apna munh chhupae ro rahe hain
raat ke bahke hue hathi
ufuq ke band darwaze pe dastak de rahe hain
hath chhoDo
hath mein kanTa chubha hai
tin din se phans andar hai
nikalti hi nahin
nam kya hai aur kahan rahte ho tum
jama masjid ke qarib
kahte hain masjid ke minare bhi the
shahr mein ek zalzala aaya tha jis se gir gae
gosht ki saDkon pe
kale KHun ke sayon ka suraj chal raha hai
lazzaton ki aag mein tan jal raha hai
