Aks-bar-aks

yun to diye namnak mein

aks-e-kashida hadsat-o-waqiat ki

apni koi ahmiyat nahin hoti

lekin

munakis zehn ghaur zarur karta hai

KHud se sawal karta hai

KHud ko jawab deta hai

aur

apne jawab ko sach sabit karne ke liye

dalilen pesh karta hai

lekin

main ek shair hun ek aaina hun

samaj ka aaina

mere daere mein aane wale

wajud ko mahfuz karna

meri fitrat hai

ye wajud

meri aankhon mein nami jaisi

mere honTon pe hansi jaisi

koi chiz rakh deta hai

phir bhi mere liye ye zaruri nahin

ki main

apne baatin mein kashida

wajud ke difaa mein dalil dun

mujhe chhupane ka iKHtiyar hai

aap samajhne ke liye aazad hain
