raushni ka manara

yak-o-tanha
hawadis ki hawaen sarsaraati hain

koi fanus
aandhi aai

shamen bujhti jati hain
hawadis ki hawa se shama bachti hai na parwane

to phir ye ek mashal kaise raushan hai
khuda jaane

sahar-dam samne rahti hai
waqt-e-sham jalti hai

kaleja kholta hai
raushni us se nikalti hai

ubalte dil ki garmi gah aa jati hai honton par
badan jis se jhulas jate hain

dariyaon ke sahil par
shafaq ke rang badh jate hain

kitne shokh hote hain
faza mein zarre takraate hain

tare tut jate hain
khalaon mein farishte daudne lagte hain

paighambar manazir ke
shagufe phutte hain

de ke apna sar
garajte megh ke hathi hain

ran mein
hun barasta hai

barahna jism
jo tapta tha

yun sairab hota hai
utho ai aandhiyo

kali ghataen sath mein lao
faza muddat se gard-alud hai

kuchh meinh barsao
zamana ke samundar mein

bahut si sipiyan
munh khole takti hain

hamari nazninon ke gale
ghutne lage masnui haaron se

ghire hain aaj bhi ghanghor baadal
aandhiyan bhi aati jati hain

garaj hai
ghan hai

dar hai
jhut hai

sach sahma jata hai
magar hai raushni phir bhi

agar kam-kam hai
paiham hai

hamari bastiyon mein jo nahin hai
apna dam-kham hai

batao hum
manare kyon nahin bante
