bhul baiTha tha magar yaad bhi KHud maine kiya

aisa wo be-shumar-o-qatar intizar tha

zafar fasanon ki dastanon mein rah gae hain

ye baat alag hai mera qatil bhi wahi tha

jahan nigar-e-sahar pairahan utarti hai

kab wo zahir hoga aur hairan kar dega mujhe

taqaza ho chuki hai aur tamanna ho raha hai

rah rah ke zabani kabhi tahrir se humne

jahan mere na hone ka nishan phaila hua hai

ajab koi zor-e-bayan ho gaya hun

pariyon aisa rup hai jis ka laDkon aisa nanw

larzish-e-parda-e-izhaar ka matlab kya hai

nahin ki tere ishaare nahin samajhta hun

mausam ka hath hai na hawa hai KHalaon mein

jahan lamha-e-sham bikher diya
