Selfi

hijr ke be-sada jazire par
kunj-e-tanhai mein koi laDki

KHal-o-KHad par laga ke aas ka rang
chashm-o-lab par saja ke dil ki umang

aankhon aankhon mein muskuraati hai
sham ki surmai udasi mein

apni taswir KHud banati hai
adh-khule honT nim-wa aankhen

be-nawa honT be-sada aankhen
aisi KHamoshi aisi tanhai

KHud tamasha hai KHud tamashai
KHud hi taswir KHud musawwir hai

KHud ghazal aur KHud hi shaer hai
sochti hai ki jis ke hijr mein main

shama si subh-o-sham jalti hun
mom si raat din pighalti hun

kash wo meri raushni dekhe
meri aankhon ki an-kahi samjhe

mere tan-man ki bebasi dekhe
jitni shiddat se KHud ko dekhti hun

kash wo bhi mujhe kabhi dekhe
