Gard-baad

bagula

KHak-zada farsh uftada

hawa jarub karti hai to us ka jism Dhalta hai

safar ki gardishen sauda-e-baatin muntashir sochen

hayule sa bagula

be-shabahat qais-zada

shahr ki galiyon mein chakraata hai

KHud main chiKHta pal mein kai qarnon ke bal khata hai

gard zard ka jhula

bagula

hijr-zada balki hijrat-zad

sahra se abhi basti mein aaya tha

Dare sahme hue logon ki aankhen hashr-basta thin

abhi do-chaar galiyan tai na ho pain

KHam-o-pech us ki rah mein aae

zarre kasmasae

jism ke aaza jhaDe

aahista aahista uDan andoh mein badli

aur ab logon ke qadmon mein koi wamanda-gard

be-kinara fatada hai

farda ki dhun mein koi ho bas ek hayula hai

mere baatin mein jo kuchh pech khata hai

hayula ya bagula hai

main pani aur miTTi se bahut Darta hun

hijrat se guzarta hun

ubharta hun bikharta hun
