Depression

KHauf ke jazire mein qaid hun main barson se

dur tak fasilen hain

aur un pe lohe ki unchi unchi baDen hain,

nok-dar kilen hain

Dalta kamanden hun jail ke kinaron par

KHar-dar taron par

siTiyan si bajti hain der tak samaat mein

pahre-dar aate hain

beDiyan si sajti hain

panw ko uThana, bhi hath ko hilana bhi

jism bhul jata hai

jurm bhi nahin malum, umr bhi nahin malum

kuchh pata nahin mujh ko us taraf fasilon ke

kis qadar samundar hai

kashtiyan bhi chalti hain, baadban bhi khulte hain

nur ke jahan bhi hain, jism ke makan bhi hain,

aadmi wahan bhi hain

chhoDiye, nahin jate

kya karenge bahar bhi

Thik hai fasilon mein

aansuon ki jhilon mein chand ko utarenge

be-hisi ke Tilon par naqsh-e-pa ubhaarenge

maut ke glamour mein Dub Dub jaenge

qabr ke andhere se raat ko sajaenge

maut ka fasurda-pan kitna KHubsurat hai

ek jahan udasi ka bas meri zarurat hai!
