Nazm

zindagi ek KHwab hai
mere liye mohabbat ka tawil aur aziyyat-nak KHwab

main duniya ke hangamon se ghafil hun
insanon ka shor meri zat ki sarhadon par ruk jata hai

andar aana mana hai
mere dil ka darwaza band hai

mera koi ghar nahin
main apne pagal-pan ke registan mein bhaTak raha hun

main apne andar safar kar raha hun
main bahar nahin nikal sakta

main apni KHwahish ke mutabiq amal nahin kar sakta
main barzaKH mein hun

jannat aur jahannam bahar hain
mere liye bahar sirf ek aurat hai

duniya mere liye nahin hai
main apni tanhai mein qaid hun

haqiqat se be-KHabar aur ghafil
ek aurat ke KHayal mein khoya hua

mohabbat ke tawil aur aziyyat-nak KHwab mein mubtala
ye musalsal jaan-kani ki haalat

kya ye zindagi hai
