NAHI CHAHIYE

mujhe jeet nahi chahiye,

aur mujhe haar bhi nahi chahiye.

jahan muskarahato pe lagi ho bandishein kai,

mujhe aisa nasamajh sansaar bhi nahi chahiye.

mujhe dard nahi chahiye,

aur mujhe chain bhi nahi chahiye.

jo katra katra kaat kar guzarti ho lamho ki shakl me,

mujhe aisi be-sabab rain bhi nahi chahiye.

mujhe dushmani nahi chahiye,

aur mujhe yaariyan bhi nahi chahiye,

jahan kataaro mein bichhe phool khull ke jhoom hi na sakein,

mujhe aisi bewajah kyariya bhi nahi chahiye.

mujhe zindagi se maut nahi chahiye,

aur maut se zindagi bhi nahi chahiye,

jo khudgarz irado se sarabor ho jhuke hue sar toh,

mujhe aisi zaruratmand bandagi bhi nahi chahiye.

mujhe khud se milne ki fakhat aarzu hai,

mujhe tum se koi sarokaar nahi,

mujhe chahiye ik zara aasma jahan tay ho mere paro ki honsle,

ye tumhara sarhado se bata adna sa jahan nahi chahiye.
