Tilism-e-safar

ek dahshat-zada
nim tarik jangal mein

aql-o-KHirad ki zarurat nahin
shairi aur fiction ki

parchhaiyon ka main pichha karun
aur sapne bunun

aisi aadat nahin
nim tarik jangal ke

lambe safar pe jo nikle ho tum
to sun lo

nim tarik jangal mein chaaron taraf
abul-haul se wasta bhi paDega tumhaara

kai shakl mein
warghalaengi tum ko chuDelen

azdahon ke ilaqon se
guzroge tum

jism nila bhi hoga tumhaara
magar aankh ki putliyon mein

zindagi ka sawera munawwar rahega
ye alag baat tum

raqs-e-iblis ke daere mein rahoge
nim tarik jangal ke

sare bhayanak darindon se tanha
nihatte laDoge

tum na hargiz daroge
istifada karoge mere tajrabon se

to paoge manzil
samundar ki maujen

ulajhti hain barson bhanwar se
to pati hain manzil

nim tarik jangal
raqs-e-iblis

kali chuDelen
KHauf-za jis qadar ho

tilism-e-safar
us ko manzil ki mearaj samjho
