Dida-e-tar

tum mere koi nahin
aur ye nannhi si jaan

kaun hai? koi nahin
main bhi tum donon ko shayad

ajnabi lagta hun shayad kuchh nahin
ain-mumkin hai ki roz-e-hashr ke imkan se hi qabl hum

apne apne raston par
roz o shab chalte hue

reg-e-na-malum ke tufan mein
aise bichhDen

phir kabhi na mil saken
ye jo lamha baKHt mein likkha hai hum sab ke KHuda ne

qurb ka, rang-e-tamazat ka, lahu ke rang ka
kash us lamhe mein hum

band kar len apni aankhon mein hasin chehre shagufe
qahqahe, raushan sitare

lahlahate jism
mauj-e-barq shoalon ka tamawwuj

maut ke, taKHliq ke asrar sab
KHana-e-maujud un sab ke liye

ab hamare dida-e-tar ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
rasm-e-ruKHsat bhi kabhi hogi magar

lamha-e-benam ki tahwil mein
ghar, ye sach hai, muKHtasar hai

is fana-anjam jalte muKHtasar ghar ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
