Sukun

ek tawil umr

tum aur main

apne apne gharon mein band the

jahan zindagi ne kaDe pahre laga rakkhe the

usulon ke rishton ke aur faraez ke

is tamam muddat mein

jo shayad sattarah baras thi ya sattar

ek dusre ki sans ki aawaz ne

hamein tapish di

aawaz jo bahut halki bahut maddham thi

tapish jo dur thartharaati lau se bhi mulaem

aur ek din

sanson ki tapish

aur thartharaati lau ki aag mein

zindagi ke sare pahre mom ki tarah pighal gae

viran ghar mein gulab ke rang

aur motiya ki KHushbu ka iztirab bikhar gaya

jis ne hamari pur-sukun KHamoshi

ko reza reza kar diya

aao aaj phir hum

tum aur main

apne pairon ke ird-gird

halki halki lakiron ke daere khinche len

ye lakiren shayad kabhi diwar ban jaen

aur hum phir apne apne gharon mein

sukun ki nind so sakin
