    raat ke sard lab

    lafz kahte hai.n

    dard kaa sutuu.n

    lafz nahii.n patthar nahii.n

    patthar nahii.n ko.ii saaya

    mahaz dhu.aa.n ban ke u.D jaane vaalaa KHayaal

    mire tahliil hote hu.e ho.nTo.n se bahte hu.e

    haqiiqii paanii kii tarah

    sachchaa.ii kaa lafz

    jo mirii Galatiyo.n kaa sabab hai

    agar yahii maut hai to mai.n is ke baa'is zinda huu.n

    agar yahii sukuut hai to merii aavaaz isii ke baa'is hai

    agar yahii yaad-daasht hai to mujhe kuchh bhii yaad nahii.n

    mai.n nahii.n jaantaa ki ye lafz mujhe kyaa kah rahaa hai

    magar is pe yaqiin rakhte hu.e

    KHud ko is ke havaale kar detaa huu.n

    kaise jaane.n ki ham zinda hai.n?

    vaqt jo mahaz niim-vaa aa.nkho.n se hame.n dekhtaa hai

    KHud ko bhii zaahir kar detaa hai
