Intisab

hamari chahaton ki buz-dili thi

warna kya hota

agar ye shauq ke mazmun

wafa ke ahd-name

aur dilon ke marsiye

ek dusre ke nam kar dete

ziyaada se ziyaada

chahaten bad-nam ho jatin

hamari dosti ki dastanen aam ho jatin

to kya hota

ye hum jo zist ke har ishq mein sachchaiyan sochen

ye hum jin ka asasa tishnagi,i tanhaiyan sochen

ye tahriren

hamari aarzu-mandi ki tahriren

baham paiawastagi aur KHwab paiwandagi ki tahriren

firaq o wasl o mahrumi o KHursandi ki tahriren

hum in par munfail kyun hun

ye tahriren

agar ek dusre ke nam ho jaen

to kya is se hamare fan ke rasiya

sher ke maddah

hum par tohmaten dharte

hamari hamdami par tanz karte

aur ye baaten

aur ye afwahen

kisi pili nigarish mein

hamesha ke liye marqum hu jatin

hamari hastiyan mazmum ho jatin

nahin aisa na hota

aur agar bil-farz hota bhi

to phir hum kya

subuk-saran-e-shahr-e-harf ki chaalon se Darte hain

sagan-e-kucha-e-shohrat ke ghaugha

kale bazaron ke dallalon se Darte hain

hamare harf jazbon ki tarah

sachche hain, pakiza hain, zinda hain

bala se hum agar maslub ho jate

ye sauda kya bura tha

gar hamari qabr ke katbe

tumhaare aur hamare nam se mansub ho jate!
