Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan
jangal ka sannaTa mera dushman hai
jab tak junun junun hai gham-e-agahi bhi hai
aur kya mere liye arsa-e-mahshar hoga
aasman ki aankh suraj chand binai bhi hai
kisi parinde ki wapsi ka safar meri KHak mein milega
yun zamane mein mera jism bikhar jaega
wo phul jo muskura raha hai
main yun to nahin hai ki mohabbat mein nahin tha
siyah raat ki har dilkashi ko bhul gae
ye tera KHayal hai ki tu hai
falak pe chand nahin koi abr-para nahin
taras raha hun qarar-e-dil-o-nazar ke liye
din hua kaT kar gira main raushni ki dhaar se
ek tasawwur to hai taswir nahin
zahr ko mai na kahun mai ko gawara na kahun
