Delhi, India
mohabbat Khaar-e-daman ban ke ruswa ho gai aaKHir
ummid ke ufuq se na uTTha ghubar tak
ru bhi aks-e-ru bhi main
ek mahak si dam-e-tahrir kahan se aai
ek tamanna ki sahar se kahin kho jati hai
samajh mein KHak ye jadugari nahin aati
jahan-e-dil mein hue inqalab aur hi kuchh
nikle teri duniya ke sitam aur tarah ke
naghma yun saz mein taDpa meri jaan ho jaise
nazar chura gae izhaar-e-muddaa se mere
duniya hi ki rah pe aaKHir rafta rafta aana hoga
bikhar jaegi sham aahista bolo
hai ab ki fasl mein rang bahaar aur hi kuchh
pai na koi manzil pahunchin na kahin rahen
ai dil ab aur koi qissa-e-duniya na suna
