Intibah

ai mere beTo!

main sochti hun

ki qadmon se

main apne tan ke hayat-agin lahu ke chashme

baha rahi hun

tumhaare sare

nazar jismon nahif zehnon ki murdani ko

miTa rahi hun

azal se apne zaif chehre ki aaDi-tirchhi

si jhurriyon ki lakir mein to

udas aankhon malul palkon

se Tapke qatre

mila rahi hun

hasin KHwabon ke buDhe bargad

ke zard patte bhi chun rahi hun

wo KHwab jin ke

chamakte jugnu

asir karne ko meri banhon ke sahilon par

safed chehre siyah qalib

ghanim utre

hasin KHwabon ke jugnuon ko

asir kar ke

KHud apni maon ki sard aankhon ko zindagi di

mere dafine mere KHazine

se apni kashti

ki god bhar bhar ke le gae aur

mere beTon ke zehn-o-dil mein

tafawuton aur adawaton ki

karih faslon ke bij boe

wo faslen jin ko

aziz beTon ne apne apne lahu se sincha

ki jin ke sine ki pak miTTi

ko garm taza lahu se

har dam

ghaliz rakkha

aur mere beTo!

main sochti hun

isi tarah gar

tafawuton aur adawaton ke

ye bich bote

rahe to ek din

ye dekhna tum

na tum rahoge na main rahungi

faqat hamari katha rahegi!
