nafa-nuksaan !!!

nafa-nuksaan me hum pade the
woh bhi lekin zidd pe ade the

tha mamuli sa kaam hi
ab lekar laathi piche pade the

samjh naam ki chij unme kahan thi
na-samajh hum bhi baney the

hoti rahi kaha suni fir ghantoN tak
aai aafat jaan ki ab lene ke dene pade the

marte kya na karte suna tha kabhi aazma lie
jode haath pakde paaoN naak ragde hum pade the

nafa-nuksaan ke chakkar me
lute-lutaye pite-pitaye hum khade the

naam na lenge hum dubara laalach ka kabhi
ab to issi zidd pe hum pade the
