dasht hi kafi hai

sans lene ke liye
qasr-o-kashana zaruri to nahin

koi virana koi dasht hi kafi hai
jahan

aasman aur zamin roz gale milte hain
subh-dam baad-e-saba

shakh-dar-shakh lutati hai nami
khushbu phailati hai aanchal apna

khilkhilati hui doshiza kali ke rukhsar
shokh bhanwre ki nigahon se shafaq hote hain

makhmalin panw tale
sabza-e-baalida koi

chhamchhamati hui barish mein naha jata hai
sham

darmanda parindon ki panah-gahon mein
qumqume kirmak-e-shab-tab ke raushan kar ke

shab ki aaghosh mein so jati hai
an-ginat hiron ki nannhi kaniyan

jagmaga uthti hain taron ke hasin mathon par
chand dudh katora le kar

budhi nani ki kahani mein sama jati hai
koi aawaz na saz

koi naghma na alap
na koi bahas na tamhis na takrar koi

na siyasat na khabasat na shamatat koi
ikhtilafat se dur

sare mafadat se dur
sab khurafat se dur

chhal kapat jhut na dhoka na fareb
koi uljhan koi fitna na koi jhunjhlahat

koi shikwa na gila
fikr-e-farda na hi andesha-e-imroz koi

ek anjaan masarrat ki kiran
an-chhue khwabon ki thandi bauchhaar

ajnabi si kisi khwahish ka khumar
kisi be-nam se ehsas ka lams

arsa-e-jaan mein utar jata hai
zinda rahne ka amal

kitna jaan-bakhsh nazar aata hai
sans lene ke liye

qasr-o-kashana zaruri to nahin
koi virana

koi dasht hi kafi hai
magar

dasht
wo dasht

jise dekh ke ghar yaad na aae
