aag ke sath main bahta hua pani sunna

har ek sham ka manzar dhuan ugalne laga

ki jaise koi musafir watan mein lauT aae

kabhi to bante hue aur kabhi bigaDte hue

wo apne band-e-qaba kholti to kya lagti

inko KHala mein koi nazar aana chahiye

chhup jata hai phir suraj jis waqt nikalta hai

chalte chalte ye gali be-jaan hoti jaegi

KHud ko har aarzu ke us par kar liya hai

kandhon se zindagi ko utarne nahin diya

yun mere hone ko mujh par aashkar usne kiya

ye kisi shaKHs ko khone ki talafi Thahra

un ko KHala mein koi nazar aana chahiye

wo marka ki aaj bhi sar ho nahin saka

waqt ki intiha talak waqt ki jast amir-imam
