tanhai shikasta par sameTe
aakash ki wusaton pe hairan
hasrat se KHala mein tak rahi hai
yaadon ke sulagte abr-pare
afsurda dhuen mein Dhal chuke hain
pahna-e-KHayal ke dhundalke
ab tira-o-tar ho gae hain
aansu bhi nahin ki ro sakun main
ye maut hai zindagi nahin hai
ab aae koi mujhe uTha kar
is unche pahaD se paTak de
har samt fazaen chiKH uTThen
baadal bhi garaj garaj ke barsen
kondon ke kaDakte taziyane
lahraen ghani siyah shab ke
sine mein kai shigaf kar den
tarikiyan phir lapak ke uTThen
aapas mein lipaT lipaT ke larzen
aur TuTte girte lakhon ashjar
kahte rahen mujh se sambhlo sambhlo
main saKHt o siyah pattharon se
Takraata hua luDhakta jaun
is shor mein koi kah raha ho
ye maut nahin hai zindagi hai
