main KHushbu jism samundar aankhon ka
ek KHwab chura kar laya tha
main aag chura kar laya tha
sahra-e-wajud ki tanhai us KHwab se kitni shadan thi
us aatish-e-larzan ki tabish taKHliq ki zau mein numayan thi
mera KHwab wo mera phul badan
mari aag mere farda ka chaman
main KHwabon se masrur raha
main aatish par maghrur raha
phir lahr uThi phir qahr hua mera KHwab hi mujh ko zahr hua
patthar ki chaTTanon par mujh ko
zanjiron se wabasta kiya
KHud aag bhi ek zanjir bani
zanjir bani shamshir bani
har qais ne mujh ko ye paigham diya
ye haal hamesha qaem hai is haal ka istiqbaal nahin
is haal ki chakki mein tum ko har lamhe piste rahna hai
tum kaise rihai paoge
aisa to koi paida na hua jo tum ko rihai de aa kar
tum KHwabon se masrur hue jo boya tha wo kaToge
sab apne kiye ki KHubi hai aamal ko apne bhugtoge
koi nind nahin koi KHwab nahin koi nur nahin koi nar nahin
fariyaad tumhaari boli hai alfaz tumhaare aahen hain
ek qahr-e-ghazab kargas ke liye
hai jism tumhaara dastarKHawan
wo dastarKHawan pe bikhri neamat se
mafluj-o-siyah jigar ki lazzat se
har lamhe lutf uThaega
har lamhe shor machaega
main KHushbu jism samundar aankhon ka
ek KHwab chura kar laya tha
main aag chura kar laya tha
patthar ki chaTanon ne mujh ko
ek mufaffa gosht ka rup diya
zanjiren girda-gird rahin
ek qahr-e-ghazab kargas ab tak
kabhi meri aankhen nochte hain
kabhi un ki lahar-e-minqar se mere dil ki ragen
ek ne ki hikayat chheDti hain
jo mujh ko rihai de aa kar
jo dard ko KHud mahsus kare
wo aisi jagah KHwabida hai
jahan suraj bhi tarik hua
kya jaaniye wo kab aaega
kab aaega kya waqai aaega
