musalsal ek hi taswir chashm-e-tar mein rahi
mujhe aagahi ka nishan samajh ke miTao mat
koi puchhe mere mahtab se mere sitaron se
misal-e-aks mere aaine mein Dhalta raha
humne kisi ko ahd-e-wafa se riha kiya
ek be-panah raat ka tanha jawab tha
dariya ki rawani wahi dahshat bhi wahi hai
ata-e-abr se inkar karna chahiye tha
daulat-e-dard sameTo ki bikharne ko hai
itne aasuda kinare nahin achchhe lagte
ek ek harf sameTo mujhe tahrir karo
hamein KHabar thi bachane ka usMein yara nahin
ufuq tak mera sahra khil raha hai
parda aankhon se haTane mein bahut der lagi
