Yun Us Pe Meri Arz-e-tamanna Ka Asar Tha

yun us pe meri arz-e-tamanna ka asar tha

jaise koi suraj ki tapish mein gul-e-tar tha

uThti thin darichon pe hamari bhi nigahen

apna bhi kabhi shahr-e-nigaran mein guzar tha

hum jis ke taghaful ki shikayat ko gae the

aankh us ne uThai to jahan zer-o-zabar tha

shanon pe kabhi the tere bhige hue ruKHsar

aankhon pe kabhi meri tarah daman-e-tar tha

KHushbu se moattar hai abhi tak wo guzargah

sadiyon se yahan jaise bahaaron ka nagar tha

hai un ke sarapa ki tarah KHush-qad o KHush-rang

wo sarw ka pauda jo sar-e-rahguzar tha

qatre ki tarai mein the tufan ke nasheman

zarre ke ahate mein bagulon ka bhanwar tha

is aadam-e-KHaki pe sitaron ki nazar thi

is KHak pe kuchh jalwa-e-yazdan ka asar tha

main roya to hansne ki sada aai kai yar

wo jaan-e-tamanna pas-e-diwar-e-nazar tha

'danish' tha ikahra mera pairahan-e-hasti

be-parda zamane pe mera aib-o-hunar tha
