donon hathon mein nangi talwaren saunt kar
main andhere par tut pada

use tukde tukde kar dena chaha
lekin us ne mera har war khali kar diya

main ne hath mein banduq utha li
aur us par diwana-war goliyan barsane laga

socha tha, us ka jism chhalni kar dalunga
lekin us mein ek bhi surakh na kar saka

phir main ne mishal utha li
aur ek zabar-dast irada liye aage badha

chaha tha us ka chehra jhulas dunga
aur use zinda jala kar rakh kar dunga

mujhe yun biphra hua dekh
andhera sahm kar pichhe hat gaya

lekin dusre hi lamhe
us ne zor se phunk mar kar, mishal bujha di

phir main ne ek aur mansuba banaya
chupke chupke ek surang tayyar ki

lekin mujhe guman bhi na tha
ki dyna-might ke fite ko aag dikhane se pahle

andhera surang mein pani bhar dega
aaj meri rukhsat ka waqt aa pahuncha hai

log!
jab koi nau-jawan, andhere ko lalkare

to tum, use meri misal na dena
