Sawal

ek sang tarash jis ne barson

hiron ki tarah sanam tarashe

aaj apne sanam-kade mein tanha

majbur niDhaal zaKHm-KHurda

din raat paDa karahta hai

chehre pe ujaD zindagi ke

lamhat ki an-ginat KHarashen

aankhon ke shikasta marqadon mein

ruThi hui hasraton ki lashen

sanson ki thakan badan ki ThanDak

ehsas se kab talak lahu le

hathon mein kahan sakat ki baDh kar

KHud-saKHta pikaran ko chhu le

ye zaKHm-e-talab ye na-muradi

har but ke labon pe hai tabassum

ai tesha-ba-dast dewtao!

taKHliq azim hai ki KHaliq

insan jawab chahta hai
