mat puchh ki is paikar-e-KHush-rang mein kya hai
kya mera iKHtiyar zaman-o-makan par
be-waza shab-o-roz ki taswir dikha kar
murda ragon mein KHun ki garmi kahan se aai
phir koi mahshar uThane meri tanhai mein aa
in dar-o-diwar ki aankhon se paTTi khol kar
mausam ka zahr dagh bane kyun libas par
zulmat hai to phir shoala-e-shab-gir nikalo
main wo aansu ki jo mala mein piroya jae
hun main bhi wahi mera muqabil bhi wahi hai
ab shahr ki aur dasht ki hai ek kahani
farsh-e-zamin pe barg-e-KHizani ka rang hai
tarz-e-izhaar mein koi to naya-pan hota
mat puchh harf-e-dard ki tafsir kuchh bhi ho
manzar meri aankhon mein rahe dasht-e-safar ke
