रेशम का कीड़ा...




यादें तुम्हारी मुझ में नहीं रहतीं 
दिल मेरा रेशम का कीड़ा
ख़ुद इन में घिरा रहता है.
घुट के मर जाएगा यूं ही  
टूटे ख़्वाबों,
और झूठे अरमानों का वज़न 
उसके वजूद से बढ़ जाने पर,
दे के दुनिया को इक सौगात 
रेशम जैसी...


Translation:

I am not an abode
to your memories.
My heart, like a silkworm
is engulfed in them.
It will die, smothered
by the burden
of broken dreams
and false hopes,
unbearable to
its capacity, some day,
leaving this world
a gift like silk...
