Tesha-e-karb

tesha-e-karb kandhon pe rakkhe hue

kohkan be-aman phir rahe hain yahan

KHwahishon ke diye

sab dhuan ho gae

wo jo mazi ke chamkile auraq the

un pe likkhe hue git gum ho gae

KHwab ki bastiyon mein koi sar-phira

apni palkon se taqdir gaDhta raha

aur tarikiyan munh chhupae hue

haal-e-rafta pe aansu bahati rahin

pastiyon ke safar se palaTte hue

dhul uDate hue rath pareshan hain

yun bulandi se KHaif bhala kyun hue

ye musafir sabhi

oxigen se dam un ka ghuTta hai kyun
