tum
mujhe yunhi rahne do

meri aahon ko
hawa ke dosh par

yunhi bahne do
lafz to wo bhi nahin

lafz to main bhi nahin
yahan lafz to koi bhi nahin

magar hum donon mein koi fasla bhi nahin
na jaane kaun hai wo

jo gai raat tak
mere andar jagta hai

ang ang mein bolta
nas nas mein dolta hai

lahu lahu chikhta hai
jism-o-jaan ka ye safar kitna dushwar hai

mujhe
din ke bazar se kharide hue

is ibn-e-adam ki justuju hai
jo be-nishan rasto par

mujhe qatl kar de
mujhe us hadse ki talash hai

jo mujhe abhi khatm kar de
ya phir

meri ruh ki azan ka
koi taaqub kare

duaon ki tafsir mein
pal pal nazren bichhae

wafa ki aag se raushan
charagh-e-tur liye

kisi diwar ke lab se koi naghma sunae
hama-waqt mohabbat jatae

lekin main to
us sadi ke qarz ka sud hun

jis ki adaegi mumkin na ho sakegi
na ruk sakegi pighalti mom jismon ki

na khankegi chudi na gali jagegi
tumhaare aangan se

utri hui dhup
mere aangan tak ko pahunchi hai

lekin mujhe yaqin hai
ki wo phir fazaon mein kho jaegi

ek din sannate mein dub jaegi
