Poet
guzashta all-parties-conference men
tai hua tha
ki shahr bhar ki tariki
aankh ke bosida piyalon men undel kar
subh, dopahar, shaam ba-qaedgi se istimal ki jaae
to andheron men jutiyan tatolna
sahal ho jaega
kaun nange paanv mahal ki taraf jaae
ki raste men uchakkon ke khauf se
kanch ki zamin bichha di gai hai
hamare ehtajaji banners zor-dar hava chalne ke baais
hamare saron pe ulat pade
aur ubhre hue gumdon ko tariki ne chhupa liya
is ke bavajud hamari ankhen
andhere men dekh sakti hain
dekh sakti hain ki daaen baaen rahne valon ne
ankhon ko badan men ghair-zaruri samjha
aur mahal valon ko atiyya kar diin
agar is baras bairuni gahakon ki amad-o-raft
mahdud rahi to ain mumkin hai
hamari jutiyan hamare saron se utaar kar
pairon men pahna di jaaen
