Kar-e-behuda

apne hone
aur na hone mein

KHushi ki gham ki itminan ki tahqiq
be-masraf hai

aur ek sai-e-la-hasil ke siwa kuchh bhi nahin
ye zindagi

ek jang-e-tahmili hai
aur main

be-natija jang ka sar-baz hon koi
jo behuda sawalon se

azal se bar-sar-e-paikar
abad-asar na-paida

mail
tar-e-abresham

wajud
ek kirm ki manind

ghaeb ho raha hai dam-ba-dam
ye bhi ghanimat tha magar

resham ke KHwahan hi kahan baqi
kabhi ye sochta hun main

kisi goshe mein baiThun
aur rujua ek mard-e-kaamil se karun

lekin
mujhe bhi to ye pahle jaanna hoga

tifl-e-aql
kyun az-balKH ta-ba-qauniya

yun KHwab mein Duba raha
ya phir

isi ek yaad ko unwan de dun zist ka
to nau-damida wo kali

shamil hui ya ki gai
jo zindagi mein

jis ki KHushbu ne mere ghar ko mahak se bhar diya
tuti-e-KHush-rang-o-ilhan ki chahak se bhar diya

main ek muhaqqiq bhi raha hun
haft-sala daura-e-tahqiq ka

hasil yahi hai
sar-ba-zanu dam-ba-KHud hun

aaKHirash sadiq-hidayat
KHud-kushi se chahta kya tha

natija sifr hai
ye kar-e-behuda

yunhi hota raha hai
be-sabab hota rahega
