Bas Ek Lafz Khojta Hun

Sahar aur shafaq roz hoti thi,
Imroz kuchh mukhtalif kyun hai ye sochta hun,
Bas ek lafz khojta hun.

Raah-e-zindagi ke safar khuch khaas na tha,
Imroz kuchh mukhtalif kyun hai ye sochta hun,
Bas ek lafz khojta hun.

Yun to bay-rang sey they zindagi ke lamhey,
Par aaj lamha bhi sadee kyun hai ye sochta hun,
Bas ek lafz khojta hun.

Bay-lagaam zindagi pe ho kisi ka ikhtiyaar,
Tha aazaad parinda, par ab hona hai girftaar,
Kal tak khayal tha apna, 
Imroz banna hai kisi ka khayal, 
Karun bayan kaise ye sochta hun,
Bas ek lafz khojta hun.

Haan shayad ye us roz ki hi baat thi,
Haan wahin se in sawalon ki shuruwaat thi,
Jis din duzdeedah-nazar dekhi thi,
Us roz se yahin sochta hun,
Bas ek lafz khojta hun.

Kaal Chakrr Ki Vytha

Kabhi anjan chita ki agni par, rotiya seykatey dekha hai kya; Kabhi kisikey matam mein, jashn ki wajahn khojtey dekha hai kya; Kabhi bhukh sey bilakhtey shishu ki pukar ko, nazarandaaz kartey dekha hai kya;  Kabhi kisi abla ki pukaar par krishnn naa aye, aisa dekha hai kya. Dekchuka badalti insaaniyat key kayee rang;  'Aalam badla, awaam badli na badla ye kaal chakrr; Aur haar kar aaj tushey poochta hai ye kaal chakrr. Kabhi kisi azeez, ki chita ki asthiyaan sametney ka waqt na ho, Aisa dekha tha kya; Kabhi kisi key gham mein pahunchey, Gham-khwar ko gham-khwaree ka waqt na ho, Aisa dekha tha kya; Kabhi kisi key kokh mein palti aulaad nari ho, Sirf isliyae, qatl hotey dekha tha kya;  Kabhi kisi abla ki aan par aanch aaye, Aur krishnn naa aye aisa dekha tha kya. Kab talak qal-qal behti rahey m'asoomon key rakt ki ye dhaar;  Kab talak macha rahey is lok mein hahakaar;  Kab talak sunta rahun in bhatakti roohon ka shor;  Kab reham nazar karega tu maalik is mri...

Nav Prasthaan

Jin bandhanon mein kiya tha aaghaat, Un sabse aaj kshama maangta hoon. Parajay nahin yeh, saahas hai mera, Andhiyaare ko ab main tyaagta hoon. Kal ke dosh jala doon agni mein, Aaj se nayi disha banaaunga. Apne man ki jwaala se hi, Jagat mein shaanti jagaunga. Nahin jhukunga ab apradh-bodh se, Nahin rukunga pashchataap ki raah par. Viraam nahin yeh, ughosh hai mera— “Main chal pada nayi subah ke saath par!”

Zarurat ke Rishtay

Khushiyan na dhoondh gairoñ ki baatoñ mein, Sukoon nahi milta saugaatòñ mein. Mat kar gumaan koi samjhega dard ko, Har chehra nahi waaqif jazbaatoñ mein. Jab tak zaruratein poori hongi, mohabbat rahegi, Tere rukte hi nafrat ki siyasat chalegi. Rishte ab faayde ki zubaan bolte hain, Wafa ab matlab ki saugaat hoti hai.
