Kaenat

main kitni sadiyon se tak raha hun
ye kaenat aur is ki wusat

tamam hairat tamam hairat
ye kya tamasha ye kya saman hai

ye kya ayan hai ye kya nihan hai
athah saghar hai ek KHala ka

na jaane kab se na jaane kab tak
kahan talak hai

hamari nazron ki intiha hai
jise samajhte hain hum falak hai

ye raat ka chhalni chhalni sa kala aasman hai
ki jis mein jugnu ki shakl mein

be-shumar suraj pighal rahe hain
shahab-e-saqib hai

ya hamesha ki ThanDi kali fazaon mein
jaise aag ke tir chal rahe hain

karoD-ha nuri barson ke faslon mein phaili
ye kahkashaen

KHala ghere hain
ya KHalaon ki qaid mein hai

ye kaun kis ko liye chala hai
har ek lamha

karoDon milon ki jo masafat hai
in ko aaKHir kahan hai jaana

agar hai in ka kahin koi aaKHiri Thikana
to wo kahan hai

jahan kahin hai
sawal ye hai

wahan se aage koi zamin hai
koi falak hai

agar nahin hai
to ye nahin kitni dur tak hai

main kitni sadiyon se tak raha hun
ye kaenat aur is ki wusat

tamam hairat tamam hairat
sitare jin ki safir kirnen

karoDon barson se rah mein hai
zamin se milne ki chah mein hai

kabhi to aa ke karengi ye meri aankhen raushan
kabhi to aaegi mere hathon mein raushni ka ek aisa daman

ki jis ko thame main ja ke dekhunga in KHalaon ke
phaile aangan

kabhi to mujh ko ye kaenat apne raaz khul ke
suna hi degi

ye apna aaghaz apna anjam
mujh ko ek din bata hi degi

agar koi waiz apne mimbar se
naKHwat-amez lahze mein ye kahe

ki tum to kabhi samajh hi nahin sakoge
ki is qadar hai ye baat gahri

to koi puchhe
jo main na samjha

to kaun samjhaega
aur jis ko kabhi na koi samajh sake

aisi baat to phir fuzul Thahri
