kya puchhte ho mujhse ki main kis nagar ka tha

aandhi mein charagh jal rahe hain

jo mujhko dekh ke kal raat ro paDa tha bahut

KHwahishen itni baDhin insan aadha rah gaya

phir ye hua ki log darichon se haT gae

thi titliyon ke taaqub mein zindagi meri

mere lahu mein usne naya rang bhar diya

zamin par hi rahe aasman ke hote hue

dar-o-diwar pe ek saya paDa hai dekho

chehre ke KHadd-o-Khaal mein aaine jaDe hain

ruKHsat-e-raqs bhi hai panw mein zanjir bhi hai

shaKHon pe zaKHm hain ki shagufe khile hue

wo rang-e-tamanna hai ki sad-rang hua hun

tufan-e-abr-o-baad se har-su nami bhi hai

apna saya bhi na ham-rah safar mein rakhna

tilism-e-gumbad-e-be-dar kisi pe wa na hua

kuchh naqsh huwaida hain KHayalon ki Dagar se

kise KHabar jab main shahr-e-jaan se guzar raha tha

harif-e-dastan karna paDa hai

hum aksar tirgi mein apne pichhe chhup gae hain

wo zindagi hai usko KHafa kya kare koi

maine yun dekha use jaise kabhi dekha na tha

pahle to soch ke dozaKH mein jalata hai mujhe

main harf dekhun ki raushni ka nisab dekhun

manzilon ke fasle diwar-o-dar mein rah gae

dasht-dar-dasht aks-e-dar hai yahan

shikari raat bhar baiThe rahe unchi machanon par

main us ka nam ghule paniyon pe likhta kya

wo jo diwar-e-ashnai thi

aag chulhe ki bujhi jati hai

na jab koi sharik-e-zat hoga

sham tanhai dhuan uThta barabar dekhte

wo ratjaga tha ki afsun-e-KHwab tari tha

gae zamane ki surat badan churae wo

dard ki daulat-e-nayab ko ruswa na karo

honTon pe qarz-e-harf-e-wafa umr bhar raha

yak-ba-yak mausam ki tabdili qayamat Dha gai

ek hum hi to nahin aabla-pa aawara

tufan se qarya qarya ek hue

shayan-e-zindagi na the hum moatabar na the

barha ThiThka hun KHud bhi apna saya dekh kar

ufuq ufuq nae suraj nikalte rahte hain

tha ek saya sa pichhe pichhe jo muD ke dekha to kuchh nahin tha

apne qadmon hi ki aawaz se chaunka hota

har chand sine mein dil-e-kufr-ashna nahin

baja ki dushman-e-jaan shahr-e-jaan ke bahar hai

KHwab-mahal mein kaun sar-e-sham aa kar patthar marta hai

meri nigah ka paigham be-sada jo hua

ek nur tha ki pichhle pahar ham-safar hua

dil mein ek jazba-e-bedad-o-jafa hi hoga
