Gosht Ki SaDkon Par

phul basi ho gae hain

lams ki shiddat se thak kar

hath jhuTe ho gae hain

is jagah kal nahr thi aur aaj dariya bah raha hai

buDha manjhi kah raha hai

KHwahishon ke peD par laTke hue

sayon ko dimak kha rahi hai

waqt ki nali mein

suraj chand tare bah rahe hain

barf ke jangal se shole uTh rahe hain

KHwab ke jalte hue chite

meri aankhon mein aa kar chhup gae hain

ghar ki diwaron pe

tanhai ke bichchhu rengte hain

tishnagi ke sanp

KHali pani ke maTke mein apna munh chhupae ro rahe hain

raat ke bahke hue hathi

ufuq ke band darwaze pe dastak de rahe hain

hath chhoDo

hath mein kanTa chubha hai

tin din se phans andar hai

nikalti hi nahin

nam kya hai aur kahan rahte ho tum

jama masjid ke qarib

kahte hain masjid ke minare bhi the

shahr mein ek zalzala aaya tha jis se gir gae

gosht ki saDkon pe

kale KHun ke sayon ka suraj chal raha hai

lazzaton ki aag mein tan jal raha hai
