mere wajud ka makan
khar-dar tar ka hisar jis ke ird-gird

aadmi ka khun pine wali zard jhadiyon ke khar-dar hat hain
meri zamin ke ird-gird

kahkashan ke khar-dar daeron ka raqs hai
zamin se aasman tak

wajud apne an-ginat hawas ka gunah hai
shuur-o-lams-o-lazzat-o-maqam ke sarab hain

main puchhta hun sang mein gudaz pamba dhundne se kya mila
ye zindagi yahi to hai

ki reza reza jama ki hui mata-e-zist ko
hawa-e-tund phenk aae dasht-e-be-sawad mein

meri nazar ke samne
na jaane kitne jism the ki tut kar bikhar gae

main aise haul-nak tajrabon ke ba'd bar bar
khud ko yun sanbhaalta hun jaise apne hat se

main gir ke tut jaunga
mera badan aziyyaton ka khwan hai

kabhi main barf ki silon ki hun ghiza
kabhi main tirgi ka rizq hun

kabhi mere liye hai nok-dar khanjaron ka takht-e-khwab
aur aaj un aziyyaton ke darmiyan

mera wajud jaise mujh ko chhod kar chala gaya
main barg-e-sabz tha jise

khizan ka hat shakh-e-tar se tod kar chala gaya
main ek samt falsafe ke an-ginat nikat ki panah hun

aur ek samt aagahi ke jabr ki karah hun
musabqat ke daur mein wo saaten bhi aa gain

ki husn aur ishq mein mataa aur mushtari ka ramz jagne laga
na ishq itna be-khabar

na husn itna mo'atabar
ki be-dalil qaziya-e-wafa ki dad de sake

ye kaenat be-hisi ki ek basit shakl hai
na zindagi ka kuchh asar

na maut se koi khatar
ab aisi kaenat mein

is ek reza-e-wajud ke hawas kya karen
ab aise sard jism ki barahnagi ko dekh kar

khulus-o-mehr-o-lutf ke hasin libas kya karen
