‘‘cul-de-sac’’ band gali

zindagi ko roz dete hain KHiraj

aaKHri ilaj

mere lahu mein zaKHm hai

ajnabi sahil

ufuq ki god mein lipTi hui ye dhund ki chadar

aks

tujh pe kya guzarti hai

alwida mehman parindo

hawa ke hath par paigham-e-ruKHsat likh diya kis ne

aurat

bint-e-hawwa hun main

bhanwar

ye kaisa bhanwar hai ye kaisa hai sagar

cactus

tumhaare honT

chae-KHane mein baiTha mazdur

chae-KHane mein baiTha mazdur

chup raho bolo nahin

chup raho bolo nahin

december lauT aaya hai

purani Diary ke KHushk hote zard pannon se

dhund ke us par

kisi na-gufta saat ke safar mein

diya

roz sham hote hi

firaq

december ki kisi yaKH-basta rangin sham ki surat

ghubar

siyasaton ke khel ne

gul-shuda shamon ka matam na karo

umr guzri hai sajate hue baam-o-dar ko

ham-zad

raat viran hai

haq-e-bandagi

nazar ka karwan manzar pe KHema-zan na hua

hum ek rahenge

hum ek rahenge

iltimas

tumhaare husn se is dil ko had-darja aqidat hai

ishq

mere sine ki is zarKHez zamin par

ishq ke banjh mausam

ufuq ke zard galon par jami hai gard sadiyon ki

ishq Thokar bhi hai panah bhi hai

ishq Thokar bhi hai panah bhi hai

judai sath rahti hai

kabhi ye dhup ki surat

kahan chali ai zindagi

kahan chali ai zindagi

kahani chalti rahti hai

kahani KHatm hone ja rahi hai

kargil

KHamosh hai wadi koi aawaz nahin hai

KHud-kushi ki ek KHabar paDh kar

zindagi talKHiyon se bhara ek zindan sahi

main aur tum

tum jo sachchai se aise bhag rahe ho

maut

koi batlae ki sab ke KHuda ne

mazi

qismat ka kab apni rona rote the

mohabbat gar nahin hoti

mohabbat gar nahin hoti

mohalla raat ki aaghosh mein soya hua tha

mohalla raat ki aaghosh mein soya hua tha

nazm

muntazir hai tu meri aamad ka

ruju

bezar uski yaadon se yun ho chuka hai dil

shatranj ki bisat

siyah KHanon safed KHanon

wahdat-ul-wujud

ghayab-e-husn se hai ishq ka shuhud tujhe

wajud-o-adam ki athah kaun jaane

sahifon mein utre wo siddiq qisse

wictoriya memorial

chalo aaj duniya ko dekhen

yaqin

main wo ehsas hun

yaum-e-jamhuriyat mubarak ho

ai mere pyare desh ke logo

zindagi se guftugu

apsara

zindagi se KHitab

mera wujud tere waste dhuan hi sahi

zist ke thal mein

dil ka Damru bajati hui ungliyan saz-e-hasti ko chheDen agar
