pattharon par likha mitata hun
is tarah main use bhulata hun

jab bhi darti hai zindagi to use
maut ke faede ginata hun

wasl ka tajraba nahin hai mujhe
hijr ki shaeri sunata hun

dil mein ek maut roz hoti hai
roz ek lash main uthata hun

dard aaram dene lagta hai
zakhm par zakhm jab lagata hun

sans jati hai le ke dur mujhe
sans aati hai laut aata hun

pahle karta hun khud use naraaz
aur phir der tak manata hun

raqs karti hain gum-shuda yaaden
aaj sab aaina bujhata hun

jaanta hun ki dar khulega nahin
be-sabab chabiyan ghumata hun
