ajib tajraba tha bhiD se guzarne ka

siyah-KHana-e-ummid-e-raegan se nikal

mast uDte parindon ko aawaz mat do ki Dar jaenge

jaane wo kaun tha aur kis ko sada deta tha

phir wahi tu sath mere phir wahi basti purani

guzar raha hun siyah andhe faslon se main

aks koi kisi manzar mein na tha

pi chuke the zahr-e-gham KHasta-jaan paDe the hum chain tha

chhupi hai tujh mein koi shai use na ghaarat kar

sar-ba-sar ek chamakti hui talwar tha main

mujhe pata tha ki ye hadsa bhi hona tha

KHat koi pyar bhara likh dena

mere badan mein pighalta hua sa kuchh to hai

zaman makan the mere samne bikharte hue

silsila raushan tajassus ka udhar mera bhi hai
