Sar-e-rahguzar Ek Manzar

qafas ka dar khula ek nim-jaan kam-sin

parinda chand KHasta zaichon par raqs ke andaz mein aage

baDha, phir chonch se apna pasandida

musawwar zaicha us ne uThaya aur apne hi

hidayat-kar ke aage

adab se rakh diya jhuk kar

hidayat-kar garche nur se tha bad-guman mahrum na-KHwanda

sar-e-sail-e-rawan ek barg-e-be-maya

nawisht-e-baKHt ke asrar se waqif tha wo shayad

nazar ke ru-ba-ru us ne

mata-e-be-nihayat ke fasane se mujhe KHush-haal kar Dala

mujhe pamal kar Dala

sabhi mauj-e-ziya mein the

sabhi ke chashm o dil mein ek shola tha

sabhi KHamosh gum-sum hain

yahan se kaun jaega

yahan par kaun aaega

parinda nim-jaan kam-sin

qafas mein ja chuka kab ka

hidayat-kar ki aankhon mein lauT aai hai virani

jo kal KHali tha wo dast-e-talab hai aaj bhi KHali

labon par lutf-e-andam-e-nihan ki an-suni gali
