na jaane kaun fazaon mein zahr ghol gaya
jahan tak panw mere ja sake hain
un ke lab par mera gila hi sahi
hawa-e-tund kaisi chal paDi hai
wo baDa tha phir bhi wo is qadar be-faiz tha
koi column nahin hai hadson par
main bhi tanha is taraf hun wo bhi tanha us taraf
kaun patthar uThae
ab nishana uski apni zat hai
wahi qatil wahi munsif bana hai
jafa ke zikr pe wo bad-hawas kaisa hai
waqt ke daman mein koi
sab ko dikhlata hai wo chhoTa bana kar mujhko
kyun wo milne se gurezan is qadar hone lage
meri qindil-e-jaan jalti hai shab bhar
