guftugoo ke haath nahin hote
magar tatolatee rahatee hai dar-o-deevaar
phaad detee hai chhat
shaq kar detee hai sooraj ka seena
undel detee hai hiddat-angez laava
khaakistar ho jaata hai hava ka jism
guftugoo pahaloo badalatee hai
aur zameen aasamaan kee jagah le letee hai
raaj hans daastaanon mein sar chhupa lete hain
oontaniyaan doodh dena band kar detee hain
aur thoothaniyaan aasamaan kee taraf uthae sahara ko bad-duaen dene lagatee hain
haijaanee neend palaken ukhedane lagatee hai
aur kachchee nazmen sar uthaane lagatee hain
guftugoo ke paanv nahin hote
ludhakatee phiratee hai
maaree jaatee hai saanson kee bhagadad mein
kafana dee jaatee hai
logon ke libaas kheench kar
kaafoor kee tez boo
lipat jaatee hain seene ke pinjar se
aur nazm adhooree rah jaatee hai
