zindagi
itni sada bhi nahin ki ek black-and-white t-w-set

us ke rangon ka ahata kar sake
magar rangin-set bhi to shairana mubaalghe se kaam lete hain

ho sakta hai pocket-bhar hayat mein sat pocket rang
undelne walon ki haqiqi zindagi yahi ho

ruh aur zamir ki umr-bhar ki kamai siyah rang ki pudiya hai
kisi fahisha ke badan se udte hue lamhe ka

dhanak-bhar muawza to nahin
maherin girani aur gunah mein tanasub-e-makus nahin mante

to aao zindagi ko inhi nigetiwes mein dekhen
