ab tum ko hi savan ka sandesa nahin banna
mujh ko bhi kisi aur ka rasta nahin banna
kahti hai ki ankhon se samundar ko nikalo
hansti hai ki tum se to kinara nahin banna
mohtat hai itni ki kabhi khat nahin likhti
kahti hai mujhe auron ke jaisa nahin banna
tasvir banaun to bigad jaati hai mujh se
aisa nahin banna mujhe vaisa nahin banna
is tarah ke lab kaun tarashega dobara
is tarah ka chehra to kisi ka nahin banna
chehre pe kisi aur ki palken nahin jhukti
ankhon men kisi aur ka naqsha nahin banna
main soch raha huun ki main huun bhi ki nahin huun
tum zid pe adi ho ki kisi ka nahin banna
main raat ki inten to bahut jod raha huun
par mujh se tere din ka daricha nahin banna
inkar to yuun karti hai jaise ki kabhi bhi
chhanv nahin banna use saaya nahin banna
is dard ki tahvil men rahte hue ham ko
chup-chap bikharna hai tamasha nahin banna
us ne mujhe rakhna hi nahin ankhon men ‘amir’
aur mujh se koi aur thikana nahin banna
