Ek Manzar, Ek Aalam

din Dhale

mandiron ke kalas masjidon ke manare gharon ki chhaten

sone chandi ke pani se Dhulne lage

qulla-e-koh se chashm-e-nazzara lekin baDi dur tak

pighle sone ki chadar ke niche taDapta hua

gahri zulmat ka ek bahr-e-zaKHKHar bhi

dekhti rah gai

kaisa manzar hai ye

main abhi umr ke Dhalte suraj ki duniya nahin

phir bhi mere sunahre dopahre tabassum ke niche kahin

aansuon ka samundar na bechain ho

niche aao zara rafat-e-baam se

aur dekho kabhi

kaisa aalam hai ye
