maut kis rah par khadi meri rah dekh rahi hai
abhi abhi main ne hawa ki an dekhi chadar mein surakh kiya hai
aur bahut upar ke baadalon ko chhalni kar diya hai
zamin bhar ki wo sari mitti
jo an-ginat dafn hone walon
ki kimiya se bani hai
aur chaaron dishaon mein
an-ginat badan jalon ki chitaon ki jo rakh bani hai
kahan le jaegi mujhe
main to ab wo hun hi nahin jo kabhi hua karta tha
ab na to mein kabhi sota hun aur na kabhi jagta hun
main na panw chalta hun na main qadam-sakin hun
maut mere panw ke bina chal sakti hai
maut mere qadam ke bina sakin ho sakti hai
ab ghilaf-e-zindagi ki koi bhi ek parat rah gai ho
to use zindagi se hata diya jae
jab uqab unchi udan par ho
to us ki aankh mein koi sui chubhoi nahin ja sakti
maut ne mujhe uqab bana diya hai
ya shayad mujhe kisi farishte mein tabdil kar diya hai
ab mujhe zamin par ya zamin ki fuzul duniya ki sath par dhunda na jae
main ab kisi ki dastaras mein nahin ho
