Nazm

paDh bhi rahe ho
ya yun hi

main apne waraq palaT rahi hun
kisi bhi aur surat mein

main tumhein
salim nahin milungi

aaKHiri bar
tumhaari hath ki lakiren

mujhe chhu rahi hain
pahli bar

kisi KHwahish ne
mujhe sahlaya hai

ki main tumhaare man mein mujallad hun
aaKHiri

ya
pahle panne ke badan se

koi lafz phail bhi sakta hai
mujhe meri man ki qabr mein hi

paDh lo
nowel nahin

ek dard hun main
jo zindagi se

zyaada pathrila hai
dard kabhi bhi tumhaare man se mil sakta hai

bas tufan ka
koi halaf nahin uThana
