khidkiyan khol do
zabt ki khidkiyan khol do

main khilun june ki dopahar mein
december ki shab mein

sabhi mausamon ke katahre mein apni nafi ka main isbaat ban kar khilun
khwahishon

nind ki jangali jhadiyon
apne hi khun ki daldalon mein khilun

bhaiyon ki phati aastinon mein
bahnon ke sajdon mein

man-bap ke be-zaban dard mein adh-jale cigareton ka tamasha banun
har nai subh ke bas-stopon pe thahri hui ladkiyon ki kitabon mein

maslub hone chalun
main apahij dinon ki nadamat banun

khidkiyan khol do
chhod do raste

shahr-e-be-khwab mein ghumne do mujhe
subh se sham tak sham se subh tak

us andhere ki ek ek karan chumne do mujhe
jis mein bezar lamhon ki sazish hui

aur dahalon se nahle bade ho gae
jis mein be-nur kirnon ki barish hui

bahr-e-shab-zad mein jo safine utare bhanwar ban gae
khwab mein khwab ke phul khilne lage khidkiyan khol do

jagne do mujhe
