No Mans Land

mujhe bata kar

ki meri samt-e-safar kahan hai

kai KHazanon ke

be-nishan naqshe

mujhe thama kar

kaha tha us ne ki satwen dar se aur aage

tumhaari KHatir

mera wo bab-e-baqa khula hai

magar

wahan par tamam dar wa the meri KHatir

wo satwan dar khula nahin tha

magar wahan par

koi bhi raaz-e-baqa nahin tha

tamam ajsam the salamat

koi bhi zinda bacha nahin tha

koi bhi mere siwa nahin tha

wahan bhi koi KHuda nahin tha
