jab dukh ki nadiya mein hum ne
jiwan ki naw Dali thi
tha kitna kas-bal banhon mein
lohu mein kitni lali thi
yun lagta tha do hath lage
aur naw puram par lagi
aisa na hua, har dhaare mein
kuchh an-dekhi manjdhaaren thin
kuchh manjhi the anjaan bahut
kuchh be-parkhi parwaren thin
ab jo bhi chaho chhan karo
ab jitne chaho dosh dharo
nadiya to wahi hai, naw wahi
ab tum hi kaho kya karna hai
ab kaise par utarna hai
jab apni chhati mein hum ne
is des ke ghaw dekhe the
tha wedon par wishwash bahut
aur yaad bahut se nusKHe the
yun lagta tha bas kuchh din mein
sari bipta kaT jaegi
aur sab ghaw bhar jaenge
aisa na hua ki rog apne
kuchh itne Dher purane the
wed in ki Toh ko pa na sake
aur ToTke sab be-kar gae
ab jo bhi chaho chhan karo
ab jitne chaho dosh dharo
chhati to wahi hai, ghaw wahi
ab tum hi kaho kya karna hai
ye ghaw kaise bharna hai
Nazm
Tum hi kaho kya karna hai
