guzarna hi agar thahra
to aahista se guzro

koi aahat na ho pae
abhi raste mein rasta so raha hai

abhi virani ke pahlu mein khwabida hai khamoshi
abhi tanhai se lipti masafat so rahi hai

kahin aisa na ho
dasht-e-tahayyur jag jae

lahu mein be-karan gham ka samundar jag jae
abhi to pahle dar hi se ragon mein khamushi hai

abhi to khun ki har bund ruk ruk ke sarakti hai
abhi gham dil mein

kuchh is andaz se karwat badalta hai
nahin hota zara mahsus bhi wo sans leta hai

ba-zahir so raha hai ye samundar
is ko sone do

hamein bhi apne hone par zara sa khul ke rone do
guzarna ho to is manzar se aahista

bahut aahista se guzro
abhi to dhup chhanw ka

tamasha ho raha hai
abhi ashjar ke sae mein dariya so raha hai

koi is ke kinare
baadalon sa ro raha hai
