umr ka aaKHiri din

    yahāñ mere andar daraḳhtoñ kitnī qatāreñ sulagtī raheñgī

    vahāñ tere andar taḌapte hue lafz lamhe

    parinde qatāroñ meñ baiThe hue ro rahe haiñ

    daraḳhtoñ ke pīchhe ka.ī chāñd TuuTe hue reza reza

    lahū meñ nahā.e hue kitne sūraj mazāroñ ke katbe!

    kahīñ Dhol thaap par raqs-e-marg-e-musalsal

    kahīñ daldaloñ meñ utarte hue jism jaise

    gunahgār apne kiye sazā rahe haiñ

    na apnī palkoñ ke kaale pharere uThā kar kahīñ rahī hai

    na maiñ koī parcham uThā.e hue chal rahā huuñ

    mire paas baiThā huā jism mujh se ye kyuuñ pūchhtā hai

    kisī gul māhiyat-e-rañg kyā hai?

    sitāroñ āhañg kyā hai?

    ye ḳhushbū hai bārish-e-sañg kyā hai

    ye sab zinda rahne ke hiile vasīle abas haiñ

    azal se abad tak vahī silsila hai

    yahāñ se vahāñ tak vahī dhund phailī huī hai

    magar dhund se kaise nikleñ yahī sochte sochte mar ga.e ham

    zamīñ se shajar janam zindagī alāmat magar maut bhī hai

    mirī umr āḳhirī din

    kisī bāb-e-ātish-zada par khaḌā muskurāne lagā hai

    kahīñ hijr sā.ateñ ginte ginte mujhe niiñd aa.ī huī hai

    shumār-e-sitāra ne shāyad mire dil rañgīñ ḳhaliyoñ meñ

    kaale lahū ibārat likhī hai

    samundar meñ Duubā huā ik makāñ jal rahā hai

    yahan mere andar daraKHton ki kitni qataren sulagti rahengi

    wahan tere andar taDapte hue lafz lamhe

    parinde qataron mein baiThe hue ro rahe hain

    daraKHton ke pichhe kai chand TuTe hue reza reza

    lahu mein nahae hue kitne suraj mazaron ke katbe!

    kahin Dhol ki thap par raqs-e-marg-e-musalsal

    kahin daldalon mein utarte hue jism jaise

    gunahgar apne kiye ki saza pa rahe hain

    na tu apni palkon ke kale pharere uTha kar kahin ja rahi hai

    na main koi parcham uThae hue chal raha hun

    mere pas baiTha hua jism mujh se ye kyun puchhta hai

    kisi gul ki mahiyat-e-rang kya hai?

    sitaron ka aahang kya hai?

    ye KHushbu hai ya barish-e-sang kya hai

    ye sab zinda rahne ke hile wasile abas hain

    azal se abad tak wahi silsila hai

    yahan se wahan tak wahi dhund phaili hui hai

    magar dhund se kaise niklen yahi sochte sochte mar gae hum

    zamin se shajar ka janam zindagi ki alamat magar maut bhi hai

    meri umr ka aaKHiri din

    kisi bab-e-atish-zada par khaDa muskurane laga hai

    kahin hijr ki saaten ginte ginte mujhe nind aai hui hai

    shumar-e-sitara ne shayad mere dil ki rangin KHaliyon mein

    kale lahu ki ibarat likhi hai

    samundar mein Duba hua ek makan jal raha hai
