Deta Tha Jo Saya Wo Shajar KaT Raha Hai

deta tha jo saya wo shajar kaT raha hai

KHud apne tahaffuz ki wo jaD kaT raha hai

be-samt uDanon se pashiman parinda

ab apni hi minqar se par kaT raha hai

mahbus hun ghaaron mein magar aazar-e-taKHil

chaTTanon mein ashkal-e-hunar kaT raha hai

ek zarb-e-musalsal hai ki rukti hi nahin hai

har tar-e-nafas dard-e-jigar kaT raha hai

hai kaun kamin-gah mein ye kaise bataun

har tir magar mere hi par kaT raha hai

ummid ujale ka liye tesha har ek dil

har raat ba-andaz-e-sahar kaT raha hai

karta hai fuzun wahshat-e-dil dasht ka mausam

'bilqis' magar kya karun ghar kaT raha hai
