Ek Khel

ek chobin ghoDa

ek ghaeb sawar

aur ek simTa hua maidan

ye hain markazi kirdar

ek be-musannif tamsil ke

jo bahar-surat KHatm hoti hai

ek muhmal na-aghazi par

kisi pechida dhabbe ki tarah

jo sabt hai ek na-amada na-gustarda

chadar par

chobin ghoDa apna kirdar umdagi se ada karta hai

agar ghaeb sawar apne hisse ka kaam nahin bhulta

simTa hua maidan nahin faraham kar sakta wo fasla

jo mashshaqi se tai kiya jae

jab tak ki nazirin andhe na ho jaen

ye koi munasib baat na hogi ki pesh kiya jae

aisa aasmani khel

us sayyare par jahan

waqt hanuz naqis hai

aur harkat ta-haal na-KHalis

ab hamein chalna chahiye!
