meraa maazii
merii tanhaa’ii kaa ye andhaa shigaaf
ye ke saaNsoN kii tarah mere saath chaltaa rahaa
jo merii nabz kii maanind mere saath jiyaa
jisko aate hu’e jaate hu’e be-shumaar lamhe
apnii sanglaaKh ungliyoN se gehraa karte rahe, karte gaye
kisii kii oak paa lene ko lahuu bahtaa rahaa
kisii ko ham-nafas kahne kii justujuu meN rahaa
ko’ii to ho jo be-saaKhtaa isko pahchaane
taRap ke palte, achaanak ise pukaar uThThe
‘mere ham-shaaKh
mere ham-shaaKh merii udaasiyoN ke hissedaar
mere adhuurepan ke dost
tamaam zakhm jo tere haiN
mere dard tamaam
terii karaah kaa rishtaa hai merii aahoN se

azaaN jo apnii hii viiraangii se takraa kar
dhakii chhupii hu’ii bevaa zamiiN ke daaman par
paRhe namaaz Khudaa jaane kisko sijdaa kare’
