mazhab ki talwar bana kar
khwahishon ke andhe ghode par sawar

mere man aangan ko raund dala
mere bharose ko suli par tang kar

tum ne dusra byah racha liya
tumhaare sang guzare pal pal ko

main ne apne mas par khaal ki tarah mundh liya tha
tumhaare sath aanchal bandh kar

baba ka aangan par kar ke
tumhaare lae sanche mein

main ne paya tha apna wajud
pyar kya hai ye nahin jaanti

par tumhaare ghar ne bad ke ped si chhanw ki thi mujh par
bachaya tha zamane ke gunahon ke

tiron ki bauchhad se
is sanche mein rahne ki khatir

main apne wajud ko katti chhantti tarashti rahi
tumhaare lahu ki bund ko apne mas mein janm diya

aulad bhi hum donon ka bandhan na ban saki
bandhan kya hai ye nahin jaanti

mujhe faqat ek sabaq padhaya gaya tha
tumhaara ghar meri aakhiri panah-gah hai

main ne kai bar dekha hai
zamane ki nigahon se sangsar hote

talaq-yafta aurat ko
is liye barish se dari billi ki tarah

ghar ke ek kone aur tumhaare nam ke istimal par
qanaat kiye baithi rahi

jannat kya hai jahannam kya hai ye nahin jaanti
magar itna yaqin hai

jannat bharose se baala-tar nahin
aur jahannam saut ke qahqahon se badh kar giran nahin

tanon aur rahm bhari nazron se badh kar mushkil
koi pul-siraat nahin

kabhi kabhi sot ka chehra mujhe apna jaisa lagta hai
us ki peshani par bhi

main ne be-e'tibari ki shiknen dekhi hain
jab wo mujhe dekhti hai

khushi us ke sine mein
hathon mein dabae kabutar ki tarah phad phada uthti hai

main un se lad nahin sakti
un mein tum shamil ho

main tum se lad nahin sakti
mazhab qanun aur samaj tumhaare sath hain

riten rasmen tumhaare hathiyar hain
dil chahta hai ki zindagi ki kitab se

wo bab hi phad kar phenk dun
jo apne mafad mein tum ne

mere muqaddar mein likkha hai
