~ Khaalis Unwaan … Tum …~

Toot’ta makaan,

Hatheli se phisalta, ikhtiyaar e maskaan,

Ubharti aur behtar taur se, makhsoos khalaayen,

Sendhon mein phasa pada,

Aundhe munh, ruk ruk kar saansen bharta,

Uljha, ghabraya sa, nisbat e maqaam …

Parat parat udhadta bardaash’t e madda,

Eent eent girtin chaar-su ujdii deewaren,

Ek purani fitri seelan,

Mere wujood ko bade shauk se nigal rahii thi …

Phir uss roz,

Khuloos ka odhe taaza-tareen libaas,

Daanton mein dabaye zubaan,

Kaanp’te hue hathon se,

Gehri soch ki koochi liye,

La’parwaah andaaz mein,

Mujh be-rang ko,

Dobara se rang daala …

Kore pannon par be’shak,

Main utaarti hoon ab … tumhari,

Badan ki garmi O jumbish ko,

Tumhari shokhi,

Sargoshiyon ko,

Nadaaniyon,

Siskiyon,

Loriyon ko,

Larazti saanson,

Pighalte aansu,

Jazbaaton ko,

Tumhari bheegi muskarah’ton ko,

Kachi-pakki baaton ko,

Tumhari belaus muhabbat ki kahaniyon ko …

Aur badle mein tum,

Phoonk dete ho meri nas-nas mein,

Khud ki jaan …

Mere khayaal, mere lafzon, alfaazon mein chupe,

Kuch iss tarah hote hain main aur tum, hum-kalaam

Ki paida ho jati hoon main, ek tumhare sirf hone se …
