~ Chalen ab? ~

Ki, seh-paher(evening) ke rukhsar(cheek) pe,

Geeli chaandni si, mali hai,

Mere inn aasmanon main,

Dekh, shaam ho chali hai ..

Dhundlake(twilight) ki eenton(bricks) se yun,

Khawab O awaaz dhali hai,

Mehdood(restrained) hui is deewar talak,

Ye hi peh’chan, ho chali hai ..

Simat jaun, faqat tujh main,

Aisi khawaish, kyon pali hai?

Tere choone pe hi gul(flower) si khilun,

Saans, parde’daar(veiled), ho chali hai ..

Chal ab chalen, yahan se door,

Muhabbat kab na khali hai ?

Neenden muthiyon se nikaal,

Lillah, thaki raat ho chali hai ..

Raftar(speed) apne qadmon ko de,

Adaawat(enmity) kab yun tali hai?

Daud us sabz e koh(green of mountain) ke itraf(direction),

Pyaas, aabshaar(waterfall) ho chali hai ..

Dayaar(area) e jangal main, ghar,

Girah(knot), wahin taab(heat) se gali hai,

Jism, kisi paed ki tehni pe, latka … ki ab humari,

‘Rooh’, barhena(naked) O bay-zaar(bored) ho chali hai …
