ek purani nazm

kuchh nahin jaanta
kis tarah aa gaya

main hawa ke bhayanak tilismat mein
kokh se jin ki taulid pate hain baalishtiye

roz-o-shab har ghadi
mujh mein dar aate hain be-ijazat

khuli dekh kar khidkiyan aur dar
maut aur zindagi un ka ek khel hai

kyunki har ek baalishtiya
maut se qabl jaan saunp jata hai

apne kisi ja-nashin (dusre) ko
dusra tisra

aur phir tisra chauthe baalishtiye ko
is tarah marte jite nirakar baalishtiyon aur un ke

tilismat ka silsila
janm se aaj tak sochta aa raha hun

kitna majbur hun chahta hun
magar in tilismat ka ant main dekh sakta nahin

aur an-dekhe bhi un ka sirr-e-khafi mujh ko malum hai
in tilismat ka ek qaidi hun main

in se bichhda to la-raib mar jaunga
ye jo bikhre to main khud bikhar jaunga

aur phir apna munh khol kar
mujh ko salim nigal jaegi
