Tisri Pali

wo bhi ek achchha musawwir tha

pichhle balwe mein hi us ke

donon bazu kaT gae

aur us balwe mein us ki

donon aankhen bujh gain

nur-e-fitrat ki sabhi shaklen miTin

baDi mushkil se us andhe musawwir ko

ek kamra chaal mein hi mil gaya

aur paDosan ke wasile se jawan beTi ko bhi

kar-KHane mein sada ki tisri pali mili

ab wo man ki god mein raaton ko soti bhi nahin

mang afshan chuDiyon ki zid mein roti bhi nahin
