main ghair-mahfuz raat se Darta hun

jahan dariya utarta hai

school

visal

sadhae hue parinde

suKHan darmanda hai

Ezra-Pound ki maut par

tark-e-wada ki tark-e-KHwab tha wo

nazm

nowember ke pahle hafte par ek nazm

ret sahra nahin

tera par utarna kaisa

ek inam ke kitne nam hain

aaina raushan KHat-e-zangar se

aaKHiri peD kab girega
