apne ahwal pe hum aap the hairan baba

de gaya dard-e-be-talab koi

munjamid honTon pe hai yaKH ki tarah harf-e-junun

guman tha ya teri KHushbu yaqin ab bhi nahin

nigahon mein ye kya farma gai ho

hum

waqt katib hai

dikhawa

duri

baDa shahr

wo KHwab kya tha ki jis ki hayat hai tabir

ab is ka chaara hi kya ki apni talab hi la-intiha thi warna

han mujh pe sitam bhi hain bahut waqt ke lekin

waqt be-mehr hai is fursat-e-kamyab mein tum

ye aansu ye pashemani ka izhaar
