Mazarat

mere KHwab gharaunde mein mere sath hain
murda lamhon ke be rut basi calender

guzri kal ke bhige bhige se pachhtawe
aane wali kal ke be kal se andeshe

sukhe phulon ki Tahni par
patjhaD ke jhonkon se uDti be-ghar titli

pile patton ki murjhai bel se lipTi
sahmi chiDiya

is ki aankhon ke gahre viran samundar
kamre ke kone mein sanwari gungi guDiya

shelf mein rakkhi saji-sajai sard kitaben
rasta DhunDhti bhaTki bhaTki subhen shamen

KHud hi socho
aise pur-awaz hujum mein

aise ghar mein
tum ko la ke kahan biThaun
