In Aansuo ka bhi kuch samaj nahi ata mujhe,
Inhe palke to kabhi raas hi nahi aati,
Kabhi to ye itne khuddar ** jate he ki,
Sabke samne bilkul bahar nahi nikalte,
Aur Akele mein to bahar aane se ye bilkul nahi katrate!
Phir Kabhi ye na chahte hue bhi bahar aa jate hai,
Chahe fir wo Khushi mein muskurahat k saath aaye,
Ya phir gusse mein yuhi beh jaye!
Kya Gazab ka rutba hai in aansuo ka bhi!

This, the abyss
No one warned me about
Where imminent fevers
Cannot be sweat out
And sanity’s good side
Turns one cheek too late
In centripetal orbit
Eluding escape
