    sirf husn

    haañ. sirf husn najāt-dahindā hai

    āñkhoñ

    jo ghaTiyā pinjroñ meñ qaid hai

    aur ma.amūlī manāzir meñ mahbūs

    kisī galī-saḌī lā-yāniyat tarah najis

    kisī bhūle hue lafz tarah āseb-zada

    kyuuñ nahīñ buujh letī aulād-e-ādam

    ki khul jā.egā saarā chhupāo

    ek haibatnāk ḳhālī Thahrāo meñ

    jo ek saffāk bedārī se mohr-band hai

    ek madfūn parvāz tarah

    ek hunūt-shuda ufuq tarah

    bil-āḳhir hastī zād-būm par dhund chhā ga.ī

    ab cockroach ġhārat-gar fāteh haiñ

    us kā.enāt ke jahāñ vaqt abhī ajnabī nahīñ huā

    un saltanat meñ tārīḳh mamnua hai

    zamāne par ḳharāsh Dāltī ḳhār-dār tuġhyānī

    havādis se pare chaltī huī

    Takrā rahī hai qadīm chaTTānoñ se

    ek bahut siyāh raat ke sahme hue sitāre

    ek pur-haul fazā meñ saañs letī ḳhāmoshī

    jise ham ḳhvāb karnā chāhte haiñ

    ḳhvāb jauhar haiñ asiil niiñd

    insānī āñkhoñ

    hamāre sayyāre

    aur hamāre zamāne itne ḳhallāq nahīñ haiñ

    ki banā sakeñ ek sachchī raat

    jo sahār sake

    abdiyat se tarāshī huī vo tahdār gahrā.ī

    jis se taḳhayyul qimāsh bunā gayā hai

    yaqīnan hameñ ek niiñd zarūrat hai

    kisī asātīrī sitāre dabīz saayā

    ġhaibī dhundalke ko sañvārtā ujāltā

    ek dil, ek zaḳhm---- banā sakte haiñ dekhe ko an-dekhā

    dard kafīl hai ruuh

    lafz bulūġhat tak shole puḳhtagī tak

    sirf husn

    han sirf husn najat-dahinda hai

    aankhon ka

    jo ghaTiya pinjron mein qaid hai

    aur mamuli manazir mein mahbus

    kisi gali-saDi la-yaniyat ki tarah najis

    kisi bhule hue lafz ki tarah aaseb-zada

    kyun nahin bujh leti aulad-e-adam

    ki khul jaega sara chhupao

    ek haibatnak KHali Thahrao mein

    jo ek saffak bedari se mohr-band hai

    ek madfun parwaz ki tarah

    ek hunut-shuda ufuq ki tarah

    bil-aKHir hasti ki zad-bum par dhund chha gai

    ab cockroach ghaarat-gar fateh hain

    us kaenat ke jahan waqt abhi ajnabi nahin hua

    un ki saltanat mein tariKH mamnua hai

    zamane par KHarash Dalti KHar-dar tughyani

    hawadis se pare chalti hui

    Takra rahi hai qadim chaTTanon se

    ek bahut hi siyah raat ke sahme hue sitare

    ek pur-haul faza mein sans leti KHamoshi

    jise hum KHwab karna chahte hain

    KHwab jauhar hain asil nind ka

    insani aankhon ka

    hamare sayyare

    aur hamare zamane itne KHallaq nahin hain

    ki bana saken ek sachchi raat

    jo sahaar sake

    abdiyat se tarashi hui wo tahdar gahrai

    jis se taKHayyul ka qimash buna gaya hai

    yaqinan hamein ek nind ki zarurat hai

    kisi asatiri sitare ka dabiz ka hi saya

    ghaibi dhundalke ko sanwarta ujalta

    ek dil, ek zaKHm---- bana sakte hain dekhe ko an-dekha

    dard kafil hai ruh ka

    lafz ki bulughat tak shole ki puKHtagi tak
