mere kalam mein pechida istiara nahin
is ka nahin hai gham koi jaan se agar guzar gae
utarne wali dukhon ki baraat se pahle
kya gul khilae dekhiye tapti hui hawa
umr bhar bahte hain gham ke tund-rau dhaaron ke sath
phul ka paigham le jae koi mali ke nam
qalb ko barf-ashna na karo
hairan sara shahr tha jis ki uDan par
phir faza dhundla gai aasar hain tufan ke
hazin tum apni kabhi waza bhi sanwaroge
dard ke sip mein paida hui bedari si
mere riyaz ka aaKHir asar dikhai diya
mawad kar ke faraham chamakti saDkon se
sar-ta-ba-qadam KHun ka jab ghaza laga hai
aansu ko apne dida-e-tar se nikalna
