andhera

raat ke hath mein ek kasa-e-daryuza-giri
ye chamakte hue tare ye damakta hua chand

bhik ke nur mein mange ke ujale mein magan
yahi malbus-e-urusi hai yahi un ka kafan

is andhere mein wo marte hue jismon ki karah
wo azazil ke kutton ki kamin-gah

wo tahzib ke zakhm
khandaqen

badh ke tar
badh ke taron mein uljhe hue insanon ke jism

aur insanon ke jismon pe wo baithe hue gidh
wo tadakhte hue sar

mayyaten hat-kati panw-kati
lash ke dhanche ke is par se us par talak

sard hawa
nauha o nala o fariyaad-kunan

shab ke sannate mein rone ki sada
kabhi bachchon ki kabhi maon ki

chand ke taron ke matam ki sada
raat ke mathe pe aazurda sitaron ka hujum

sirf khurshid-e-darakhshan ke nikalne tak hai
raat ke pas andhere ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin

raat ke pas andhere ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
