Kaise Kahen Ki Chaar Taraf Daera Na Tha

kaise kahen ki chaar taraf daera na tha

jate kahan ki KHud se pare rasta na tha

jab sans le rahi thi daraKHton ke aas-pas

aawaz de rahi thi koi bolta na tha

KHud se chale to rah-guzar aaina ho gai

apne siwae aur koi sujhta na tha

ab ke basant aai to aankhen ujaD gain

sarson ke khet mein koi patta hara na tha

parda hila ke baad-e-sahar dur tak gai

KHushbu kidhar se aai kisi ko pata na tha

guzri tamam umr usi shahr mein jahan

waqif sabhi the go koi pahchanta na tha

ai 'ashk' ek kitab paDhi thi waraq waraq

wo tirgi thi lafz koi sujhta na tha
