Diwangi Ki Rah Mein Gum-sum Hua Na Tha!

diwangi ki rah mein gum-sum hua na tha!

duniya mein apna koi kahin aashna na tha!

dhaDkan ka dard jism ko taDpa ke rah gaya

rag rag mein ek shor-e-masiha bapa na tha!

ek kashmakash ke baad talluq nahin raha

begana ho ke hum se wo lekin KHafa na tha!

diwar-o-dar pe parde laTakte the har taraf

iflas kone kone mein lekin chhupa na tha!

zanjiren lakh TuTin magar KHauf-e-hukmaran

majburiyon ke jal se koi riha na tha!

ek apni chiKH se laraz uTThe the baam-o-dar

aai na bazgasht koi ham-nawa na tha!

aate rahe na jaane kahan se KHaton pe KHat

be-nur chashm-e-nam ne kisi ko paDha na tha!
