Faqat maut mujhe bhati hai

aise lagta hai ki sahra hai koi
dur tak phaili hui ret ko jab dekhta hun

meri aankhon mein wahi pyas chhalak aati hai
ruh ki pyas chhalak aati hai

phir hawa waqt ke hathon mein hai talwar ki manind rawan
phir sulagta hun faqat maut mujhe bhati hai

dil mera aaj bhi afsurda udas
dil badalta hi nahin

raste rose badal lete hain rup
raste faiz ki shahrah ki tarah chur niDhaal

aur patjhaD mein bikharte hue patton ki tarah
log hi log hain jis or nazar jati hai

rog hi rog hain jis or nazar jati hai
phir bhaTakta hun faqat maut mujhe bhati hai

garche ye KHauf ki diwana kahegi duniya
garche ye Dar ki main sach-much hi na pagal ho jaun

phir bhi gham khane ki fursat to nikal aati hai
apne gun gane ki aadat hi nahin jati hai

dur jate hue lamhon ki sada
galiyan mujh ko diye jati hai

is se pahle bhi junun tha lekin
ab ke is taur se bikhre hain hawas

koi tartib nahin
aise lagta hai ki sahra hai koi

dur tak phaili hui ret ko jab dekhta hun
meri aankhon mein wahi pyas chhalak aati hai

ruh ki pyas chhalak aati hai
zindagi meri dhuen ki surat

phailti aur bikhar jati hai
phir hawa waqt ke hathon mein hai talwar ki manind rawan

phir main marta hun faqat maut mujhe bhati hai
