Ek sab aag ek sab pani

hamare gham juda the
qarya-e-dil ki faza aab o hawa

mausam juda the
sham tere jism ki diwar se chimTi hui thi

mujh ko kali raat khati thi
tujhe aawaz deti thi tere andar se uThti huk

mujh ko bhuk meri ruh se bahar bulati thi
tujhe panw mein paDti beDiyon ka rog lahaq tha

mujhe aazadi pe shak tha
tujhe apnon ne apne gher ka qaidi banaya tha

mujhe be-rishtagi ne zat ka bhedi banaya tha
musalsal likh par gardish mein rahna nachna

tera watira tha
meri ek apni duniya thi

mera apna jazira tha
koi dariya tha apne bich

hum donon kinare the
alag do kahkashaen thin

jahan ke hum sitare the
