Auction (Nilam)

I composed this poem in 1976 but still survived Bik gayee hai yeh jami(n) bik gaya hai asman(n) bik gaye sare chaman bik gaya hai karwan bik gaye kan kan bhugarbh ke bik gaye ped paudhe pashu pakshiyan ab kuchh na raha ish jahan me hai sara jahan ab bik chuka jo kuchh raha rasmo ke naam par woh bhi to ab bik chuka vigyan ki uplabdhiyan bhi gayee vyapar ke ish khel me jano aur abru bhi bik chuke kaudio ke mole me kuchh bika insaaf ke naam par kuchh bike rahat ke naam par haquiquat ki dunia me rahne wale bhi bik chuke ab inqualaab ke naam par jisne jitna paya loota khashota kuchh dhar dabocha aur ant tak byapar kar marh liya sartaz ko bus ab halaat ab aa chuki hai jab insaan bhi hai bik chuka tab talak to mujhko yaaro jee lene do apne khayalo me khamoshiyo me gar kuchh jindagi ko bas jindagi de de
