har ek lamha ye sochta hun
wo sare rishte tamam nate

bandhe hue hain jo jism-e-zahir ki tazgi se
unhen mita dun

wo sare chehre likhe hon jo iztirab-e-jaan par
unhen jala dun

ki jism to khak ki sada hai
rahegi khak-e-badan mein jab tak numu ki quwwat

lahu ragon mein rawan rahega
zamir-e-arman jawan rahega

ye fasl rishton ki zehn-o-dil par ugi rahegi
rafaqaton ki ghadi nazar mein khuli rahegi

khuli hain aankhen to aasman ki bulandiyan hain
har ek manzar giraft-e-fikr-o-shuur mein hai

qadam zamin par thirak rahe hain
to phul sare mahak rahe hain

agar na ho jism mein hararat
to aandhiyan zarra zarra us ka wajud bhi len

tamam rishte tamam bandhan tamam nate
asas thahre jo roz-o-shab ki

har ek pahchan tod dalen
wo sare mear jin ko dil ne wafa kaha hai

bikhar ke gumnam ho bhi sakte hain ek pal mein
kahin kisi ka nishan na paen

zamin par aasman na paen
yaqin na paen guman na paen

koi kisi par kahin bhi phir mehrban na paen
main in khalaon mein dil-shikasta

na jaane kis ki talash mein hun
pas-e-hijab-e-ghubar mein tirgi ke sae

nazar jhukae badan churae
main sirf itna samajh saka hun

jahan mein koi nahin kisi ka
yahi ishaara hai aagahi ka

yahi hai anjam zindagi ka
magar samajh ke bhi na-samajh hun

nadi kinare bana raha hun
main ret ke be-zaban gharaunde

sabhi ko rishton mein bandhne ki ajib koshish
samajh raha hun sabhi ko apna

ajib si bhul kar raha hun
