kasmasati hui
rengti

aur bal khae
badhti hui

koi daldal
lapete hue hai

meri gardan pe baalon pe
kichad ke chhinte

mere munh mein
na saf pani ka gadla kasila maza hai

hath tute hue chappuon ki tarah
meri nazron mein hain

nuqrai aasman
aur kirnon ke jharne

khalaon mein uljhe hue chand tare
darakhton ke maghrur qad

aur bebak bazu
subuk jism

sakit pahadon ki bahti hui symphony
aur maujon ka aahang

lamhon ki uryaniyan
daw’at-e-sang

zarron ke mubham ishaare
muntazir ek jahan

lekin is
gadhi daldal ke dariya mein

hai kaun rahwar mera
yahan kaun ham-raaz hai

mere damanda laghar badan ke siwa
ek tuta safina

phate baadban
