LauT Chaliye

soKHta-jaan soKHta-dil

soKHta ruhon ke ghar mein

rakh gard-e-atishin sholon ke sae

naqsh hain diwaron par mafruq chehre

lauT chaliye apne sab arman le kar

jhuT hai guzra zamana

aur kisi ujDe qabile ki bhaTakti ruh shayad

apne mustaqbil ka dhundla sa tasawwur

bahr-e-gham ke darmiyan hai

ek kale koh ki manind ye imroz apna

koh jis par raqs karte hain sitam-KHurda tamannaon ke aaseb

lauT chaliye

apne sab arman le kar

sochiye to

yun abas aatish-kadon mein kyun jalen dil

kyun rahen har waqt sinon par chaTanen

dekhiye to

chand luqme kuchh kitaben

ek bistar ek aurat

aur kirae ka ye KHali tang kamra

aaj apni zist ka markaz hain lekin

tirgi ka gham inhen bhi kha raha hai

chaar jaanib zahr phaila ja raha hai

lauT chaliye

apne sab arman le kar

apne sab paiman le kar

jism le kar jaan le kar
