band dariche, jo kabhi band nahin hote
jahan kirnon ke jhankne par pahre hain
andheri koThariyon mein zaban KHamosh, jism bolte hain
jab koi KHwahish-zada apni barahna KHwahish liye
kisi band dariche ka ruKH karta hai
to pakizgi aur pairahan
kone mein baiTh kar bain karte hain
zaKHm-alud jism ke andar chiKHen kohram barpa kar deti hain
itni nahif chiKHen
ki kisi kan par wo dastak nahin de patin
roz an-ginat jism taDapte hain
aur un mein Dheron KHwahishen dafn ki jati hain
Nazm
Band darichon mein zindagi
