bahaar ne hamari taraf phul phenke
qabristan ne hamari taraf ek qabr phenki

mujhe nahin malum ki phul aur qabr
hamare us shakhs ke hath kaise

lag gae jis shakhs ko hum abhi
takhti par zindagi likhna sikha rahe the

jald-bazon ne hamein itni bhi suhulat
nahin di ki hum ek maut ki wazeh taswir bana pate

koi nahin jaan paega ki kyon hamare ghar
mein ek frame baghair kisi taswir ke hamesha

ke liye rakh diya gaya hai
raat badbada rahi hai aur hum apne sine par hath rakhe hue

badh rahe hain ek aisi aawaz ki taraf jo aawaz
sham ke shor mein hamein puri tarah sunai nahin deti

aaj chand ko itni tabnaki ke sath raat ki badbdahat
ka sath nahin dena chahiye tha

aansuon ki ek qatar aaj parindon ke sath
sarhad ubur kar jaegi aur koi sipahi

aansuon ka passport check nahin karega
hum dekh rahe hain ki khun ki ek dhaar

baisakhiyan tham kar hamari jaanib badh rahi hai
aur kah rahi hai ki tum log itne zor se

apne dil ko patthar par kyon nahin patakhte ki
tumhaare dil ke tukde bhi is bahaar

mein khilne wale phulon mein shumar ho jaen
ab khun ki dhaar ko kaun batae ki kyon hum

apne sine par hath rakh kar ek aawaz
ki taraf badhte chale rahe the
