Zer-e-lab

kas bojh se jism TuTta hai

itna to kaDa safar nahin tha

wo chaar qadam ka fasla kya

phir rah se be-KHabar nahin tha

lekin ye thakan ye laDkhaDahaT

ye haal to umr bhar nahin tha

aaghaz-e-safar mein jab chale the

kab hum ne koi diya jalaya

kab ahd-e-wafa ki baat ki thi

kab hum ne koi fareb khaya

wo sham wo chandni wo KHushbu

manzil ka kise KHayal aaya

tu mahw-e-suKHan thi mujh se lekin

main soch ke jal bun raha tha

mere liye zindagi taDap thi

tere liye gham bhi qahqaha tha

ab tujh se bichhaD ke sochta hun

kuchh tu ne kaha tha! kya kaha tha
