Be-nam

dariche baz the
ThanDi hawa ki narm dastak se

nawa-e-nim-shab
aankhen ThiThak kar khul gain

mahtab ke KHamosh jadu se
samundar bhi humakta tha

mujhe wo nam kya dena
jhalak KHud ism gar ki jis mein aati ho

mujhe kyun qaid karte ho
main muTThi mein sama jaun

tilismi taqaten be-asra bandon ko dahlaen
kahin diwar par chaspan

garebanon ki zinat mein
balaon se hifazat kar sakun

kyun nam dete ho
hazaron qarna-ha qarnon se

yun hi chand barsa hai
samundar aah bharta hai

moattar phul ke gajron mein bas kar
faslon ke lams ki duri taDapti hai

mujhe mahsus kar lo
aankh-bhar kar dekh lo

phir nind ki tah mein
thirakte barg aawara ki surat

Dubte jao
mujhe be-nam rahne do
