maut ke us taraf
koi sirr-e-nihan hai ki bazar hai

kya sitaron ka taban koi qafila
ya buland aur tarik diwar hai

khak udti hai ya khushbuen hain rawan
koi sahra hai ya ek chaman-zar hai

koi apna bhi hai
ya hujum-e-bala shahr-e-aghyar hai

koi zinda bhi hai
ya ki har samt nashon ka ambar hai

ek khala hai ki phir
bar-e-imkan hai

rah pur-khar hai
jang hai amn hai

faisla hai wahan
jit hai haar hai

maut ke us taraf
kuchh nahin hai to kyun

sar pe aawezan wahshat ki talwar hai
main hun ya

nuqta-e-be-aman
jism ke daere mein giraftar hai

tu hai ya
aaina-saz

wal-asr ka
mahw-e-didar hai
