mat puchh ki is paikar-e-KHush-rang mein kya hai
jurat-e-izhaar ka uqda yahan kaise khule
harf-e-be-matlab ki maine kis qadar tafsir ki
meri thakan mere qasd-e-safar se zahir hai
phir koi mahshar uThane meri tanhai mein aa
dil bhar aae aur abr-e-dida mein pani na ho
usko mil kar dekh shayad wo tera aaina ho
raushan sukut sab usi shoala-bayan se hai
ye faisla bhi mere dast-e-ba-kamal mein tha
abr sarka chand ki chehra-numai ho gai
kya mera iKHtiyar zaman-o-makan par
khulti hai guftugu se girah pech-o-tab ki
in dar-o-diwar ki aankhon se paTTi khol kar
wo KHun baha ki shahr ka sadqa utar gaya
rasta chahiye dariya ki farawani ko
