usi aag mein
mujhe jhonk do

wahi aag jis ne bulaya tha
mujhe ek din dam-e-shoalagi

dam-e-shoalagi mera intizar kiya bahut
kai khushk lakdiyon shakhchon, ke hisar mein

jahan barg-o-bar ka dher tha
dam-e-shoalagi

mujhe ek patte ne ye kaha tha ghamand se
idhar aa ke dekh

ki is tapida khumar mein
hamin hum hain

lakdiyon shakhchon ke hisar mein
yahan aur kaun wajud hai

yahan sirf hum hain ruke hue
kahin aadhe aur

kahin pure pure jale hue
dam-e-shoalagi

hamein jo masarrat-e-raqs thi
tumhein kya khabar

agar aag tum ko aziz thi
to ye jism kaun si chiz thi

jise tum kabhi na jala sake
wo jo raaz tha pas-e-shoalagi nahin pa sake!

so kaha tha main ne ye ek adh-jale barg se
mujhe dukh bahut hai ki aag ne

mera intizar kiya bahut
magar un dinon

kisi aur tarz ki aag mein
mera jism jalne ki aarzu mein asir tha

magar un dinon main na jal saka
main na jun apni badal saka

magar ab wo aag
ki jis mein tum ne panah li

jahan tum jale
jahan tum ajib si lazzaton se gale mile

usi aag mein mujhe jhonk do
