tahayyur ki fazaon mein
koi aisa parinda hai

jo pakdai nahin deta
hai koi khwab aisa bhi

azal se hai jo an-dekha
koi aisi sada bhi hai

samaat se wara hai jo
basarat ki hadon se dur ek manzar hai jo ab tak

tasawwur mein nahin aaya
kahin kuchh hai

jo ek pal dil mein aa thahre
to jism-o-jaan ke hone ka ek bain-e-hawala ho

jo giton mein utar aae
to is dharti se nile aasman tak wajd tari ho

jo lafzon mein rache to baat phulon ki tarah mahke
agar lamhon mein dhadke to zamanon mein sada phaile

agar manzar ke andar ho
to binai ko apna haq ada karne ki jaldi ho

wo shayad hai
ek aisi dastan jo ruh ke andar hai poshida

ek aisi sans jo sine ki tah mein chhup ke soi hai
ek aisa chand jo aflak se bahar chamakta hai

muqaddar hi badal jae
use gar likh diya jae

hamare darmiyan hona
