Nazm

us ko
tariKH se aazadi di gai thi

wo itna chali
ki us ka

koi bhi naKHun nahin bacha
bina naKHun ki ungliyan

bhaddi hi nahin be-kar ho jati hain
phir wo bahne lagi

aur bahti rahi
apni anant dhaara mein

tariKH bahaw ki KHub-surati kya samajhti
bandh bandhe

bina ye soche
ki saDandh paida ho jaane par

dam ghuT sakta hai
tariKH ki

maut waqe ho sakti hai
