Pashemani

maut ka rag nafiri pe bajati aauThi
lo jhulasti hui lau

aauThi
baDhi

ret pe jaise dhuan uThta ho
sarsarahaT si daraKHton mein hui

patte murjha gae
girne lage

wo un ke khaDakne ki sada mere KHuda
lu ke hamrah baDhe

maut ke nach ka nikla tha julus
chaunk kar jag uThe sehn-e-chaman mein tair

aashiyanon se judai unhen manzur na thi
sahm kar uThe uDe uD ke wahin aan gire

un ki is aaKHiri fariyaad ki ghamnak sada mere KHuda
ek ghaTa-Top andhere mein jhukae hue sar

hath aankhon pe rakhe
baiThi hai ghamgin udas majbur

pahlu mein afsurda KHushi ko le
sans rukne laga

KHun jamne laga
be-kali DhunDhti phirti hai panah

rengta rengta KHauf aaya sisakta hua sanp
be-kali kanp uThi

KHauf jhapaT kar uTha be-kali naza mein thi
mujh ko bacha mere KHuda

tirgi kanpi
faza larzi

khuli kirnon ki rah
ruhen jo wusat-e-afaq mein aawara si thin

DhunDhti phirti thin manzil apni
phaDphaDae hue par apne uThin

aur hawaon mein baDhin
samne jannat-e-gum-gashta nazar aati thi
