Kaenat-e-zat Ka Musafir

aaina raqs mein hasrat ki shanasai ka

kitne chup-chap KHarabon mein liye jata hai

har taraf nirKH-zada chehron ki aawazen hain

meri aawaz kahan thi meri aawaz kahan

madfan-e-waqt se kab koi sada aai hai

ek lamha wahi lamha meri tanhai ka

zaKHm par zaKHm mere dil ko diye jata hai

phul ke hath mein hai raat ke matam ka charagh

kabhi bujhta kabhi jalta hai sulagta hai kabhi

sans se jism ka nata meri ruswai hai

ham-safar kaun hua lala-e-sahrai ka

parda-e-raaz-e-azal chaak kiye jata hai

sar hatheli pe sajae hue chalte rahna

zinda rahne ke liye rasm rahegi kab tak

dard dariya hai wahi dard ki gahrai hai
