har samt zindagi ka tamasha bhi KHub hai
fikr-e-sud-o-ziyan mein rahta hun
ajab bigDe muqaddar ban gae hain
hawa KHamosh patte so rahe hain
kyun qatl ke arman mein aazar uThaen
ek qabile se hain lekin rang-o-naqsha aur hai
ye paikar-e-jamal to itab ke liye nahin
taslim mujhko main tere pasang to nahin
bina dekhe tujhe apna bana kar dekh leta hun
koi nishani-e-ahd-e-visal de jae
wo humse ho gaya hai be-KHabar kuchh
aate hain pahle lab pe sawalat KHud-baKHud
do-chaar gam pas-e-rifaqat na kar sake
be-irada kucha-e-qatil mein jaana paD gaya
haalat par nigah ruton par nazar na thi
