Nam Us Ka

nam jab leta hun honTon par zaban ko pherta hun kyun ki

us ke nam mein us ki zaban us ke labon ka zaiqa hai

jab badan wo nam leta hai to aise jhunjhunata hai ki jaise

us ki zahri ungliyon ne chhu liya ho

nam us ka us ke apne bazuon ke daere ki tarah

shorida-badan ko gherta hai

nam us ka paniyon mein ghol kar pi lo zaban luknat-zada

ho jae hai, aankhen alag chaDh jaen hain, ji kuchh kahe

lab kuchh kahe hai,

nam us ka zanu-e-nakatKHadai par likhe se chhatiyon

mein dudh chhalkane lage hain

nam us ka siyahiyon mein gholne se sher la-fani likhe hai

nam banjar dhartiyon mein thoDa thoDa sa chhiDak dene se

har pal bel-buTe khinch de hai

nam us harjai ka lene se har sankal khule hai

us ko us ke nam se aawaz de dije to chaaron samt

jo koi sune hai us ke lakhon nam dohrane lage hai

aur kabhi us nam ke sunte hi andar se koi puchhe hai

kis ka nam lo ho

aur tab ehsas howe hai ki us ka ho ki apna ho

wahi ek nam to hai

aur tab ehsas howe hai wo hum mein hai ki us ka nam

hum hain

aur tab ehsas howe hai ki yusuf se zuleKHa sham se

radha ke hijje hi juda hain warna chaaron

ka tamasha ek sa hai
