guzarte dauDte lamhe hisab mein likhiye
silsile hadson ke dhyan mein rakh
hijr ki sham se zaKHmon ke doshaale mangun
jab se qiston mein baT gaya hun main
kaman chhoD gae be-nazir jitne the
aarzu Tis karb tanhai
akmal aaj ka insan kitna be-tahammul hai
zehn mein ajnabi samton ke hain paikar lekin
ungliyon ke hunar se ai akmal
nai tahqiq ne qatron se nikale dariya
