Diwar-e-chin

kahan se phaila hua hai ye silsila kahan tak

guzar gaya sail himmaton ka

bana ke ye kos kos sadiyon ki rahguzar si

pahaD chilla chaDhi kamanon se tir phenken

to aasman gir paDe zamin par

rawan-dawan waqt ke bahao mein

ek lambi daraD jaise paDi hui hai

azim diwar sar uThae khaDi hui hai

jhuke hue aasman ke niche

jo is sahife ko aks-dar-aks banTta hai

ye razmiya jo lahu ki shaffaf raushni se

likha gaya hai

zamin pe chingariyan uDate hue wo aae

jo bazuon se bulandiyon ka KHiraj

lete rahe

shikam ko anaj de kar

mashaqqaten jin ki bandiyan thin

lahu ke namkin zaiqe

raqs karte rahte the

jin ke honTon ke aastan par

kaDakti aawaz jabr ke chabukon ki bijli

inhi pahaDon pe kaundti thi

yahin pe mehnat ke naqsh-gar ne

lahu ke pani mein sang gundhe

sada-e-tisha uThi to kohon se phuT niklin

baqa ki nahren

zamin ko us ki bulandiyon ki taraf uThaya

ufuq ko bandha ufuq se us ne

qadim quwwat ke raKHsh ne das hazar li masafaton mein

fana ke tatariyon ke lashkar ko mat de di

yahin pe mehnat ke naqsh-gar ne

silon ko pahna diye salasil

baTe hue KHudgiraft qilon ki baD toDi

isi ne kohon ke sar pe gaDha

hazimaton nusraton ka parcham

kushud kar ke jise uDaya

kai zamanon ke warison ne

jo uD raha hai

nasheb ko aasman ki jaanib uDa raha hai

jo kal ko kal se mila raha hai
