तनहा हैं मेरे ख्वाब-ओ-ख़याल
मेरी कोई सदा तुझ तलक जाती नहीं ।१।
अंधियारी है अब मेरी हर एक रात
चाँद की मुझ तक झलक आती नहीं ।२।
पुकारना चाहता हूँ तुझे लेकर नाम तेरा
आवाज़ कोई मेरे हलक आती नहीं ।३।
कश-म-कश में हूँ कहाँ लेके जाऊँ इन्हे
बहुत भारी हैं सपने, पलक उठातीं नहीं ।४।
घुट रहा है दम मेरा इस कफ़न में अमित
ज़मीन मेरी नहीं, फलक बुलाती नहीं ।५।
Playing with words 
Bahut bhari hain sapnee, palak uthati nahin
Just beautiful!

English translation
solitary are dreams and thoughts
voice cannot travel, just moans
dark are nights, moon can’t reach
my windows shut, lines drawn
I’d like to call your name aloud, but
vocal cords jammed, not condoned
I breathe conundrums, how do I carry
heavy dreams, not borne by eyes alone
suffocating is the shroud I live in, but
I don’t possess the earth, and sky disowns
