Manzilon ko daman mein chupa diya
Raston ke khoj mein
Sahilon ko rond diya
Leharon ke mauj mein
Leau ko bhuja diya
Apne hathon se
Diye ki soch mein
Parashtish kiya
jis budh ko maine
Suna hain mandir se
Nikaal diya use
Chingari jal ke raakh ho gayee
Bach gayee sirf dhuan
Dhuen ki jalan se
Ankhon ko nam kar diya maine
Every bond that
I broke
tore my flesh
Every word that
I spoke
Scarred my tongue
Every night that
I slept
darkened my wound
Every day that
I lived
burnt my soul
Every step that
I took
grazed my feet
Every nail that
I held
hammered my coffin.
