bahar ek aawaz hai
tamam aawazon se muKHtalif
faza ki murda shiryanon mein
ek taza sachchai bhar dene wali aawaz
be-his makanon manDlati hui
mere darwaze par dastak deti hui
kabhi maddham kabhi tez
ek bechain dastak
mujh se kuchh kahna chahti hai
mujh tak pahunchana chahti hai
thoDe hi fasle par khaDe ek mausam ki baat
shayad meri hi koi baat
lekin main darwaze tak kaise jaun
use kaise kholun
bahar khaDe mausam ko andar kaise laun
main to arsa hua
apne hath panw
ba-taur-e-zamanat rakh chuka hun
kis jurm mein
kis ke pas rakh chuka hun
bilkul bhul chuka hun
Nazm
Meri hi koi baat
