asbab-e-hast rah mein luTana paDa mujhe

ghamgin be-maza baDi tanha udas hai

safar ke bich wo bola ki apne ghar jaun

safar ki dhup ne chehra ujal rakkha tha

lakDi ki do mezen hain ek lohe ki almari hai

wo sard dhup ret samundar kahan gaya

jagte din ki gali mein raat aankhen mal rahi hai

aasman ek kinare se uTha sakti hun

be-KHayali mein kaha tha ki shanasai nahin

apni aankhon ko aqidat se laga ke rakh li

tu harf-e-aKHiri mera qissa tamam hai
