AaKHiri nazm

biwi mujh se kahti hai
sara din leTe rahne

aur nazmen likhne se
ghar kaise chalega

nazmen roTiyan to nahin
ki bachchon ka peT bhar saken

tum to apna peT
shaeri ki talwar se kaT kar

mustaqbil ki khunTi se laTka chuke ho
lekin hamare peT itne shairana nahin

sochta hun
biwi Thik kahti hai

nazmen to ghaib se utar aati hain
lekin roTiyan ghaib ke tannur mein nahin paktin

waise bhi shaeri ko zinda rakhne ke liye
peT par roTi bhandhni zaruri hai

lekin main use darKHwast karunga
wo mujhe ek nazm aur likh lene de

aaKHiri nazm
jis mein aane wali kal ke liye

koi tarif nahin hogi
jis mein guzar jaane wali kal ke liye

koi pachhtawa nahin hoga
jis mein aaj ke kisi dukh ka

matam nahin hoga
har lihaz se mukammal nazm
