na jaane kaun fazaon mein zahr ghol gaya
use khilaunon se baDh kar hai fikr roTi ki
jahan tak panw mere ja sake hain
un ke lab par mera gila hi sahi
patte patte se naghma-sara kaun hai
koi column nahin hai hadson par
hawa-e-tund kaisi chal paDi hai
wo baDa tha phir bhi wo is qadar be-faiz tha
meri qindil-e-jaan jalti hai shab bhar
maine jo kuchh bhi likkha hai
jafa ke zikr pe wo bad-hawas kaisa hai
kyun wo milne se gurezan is qadar hone lage
ye main hun KHud ki koi aur hai taaqub mein
waqt ke daman mein koi
wahi qatil wahi munsif bana hai
