ab bhi aazad fazaon ka na imkan nikla

apni taqdir se baghawat ki

shahr mein tanha tha lekin karb-e-tanhai na tha

har-gam tajrabaat ke pahlu badal gae

kyun andheron mein rahen raat basar hone tak

dil hai chup bol raha ho jaise

kuchh soch ke izhaar-e-KHayalat na karna

fikr-o-izhaar mein KHud aane lagi pa-mardi

apni hasti nazar aai thi abhi

fan ki aur zat ki paikar ne sone na diya

dil murid-e-ilzam-e-wafa aur bhi nikla

KHud apne ghar mein hain is tarah aaj aae hue

hum na hote bhi to itna hote

rah-e-hayat mein koi charagh hi na mila

ek surat nazar aai thi abhi
