Chhipkili

hajla-e-tarik mein pai hai is ne parwarish

shama jalte hi dar-o-diwar par

le ke maTiyala sa kahida badan

jhumti sar-mast aa jati hai ye

pa-ba-jaulan chand parwanon ke pas

ghota-zan pate hi jin ko aab-shaar-e-nur mein

tez chamkili nukili aankh se

yun dekhti hai bar-bar

jaise ek sarmaya-dar

mal-o-zar ki oT se

karta hai muflis ka shikar

phir nikal jati hai ye

soz-o-gham ke shahkar

raushni ke tajdar

chand parwanon ki jaan-sozi se kya matlab ise

shama ki raushni KHayali is ke pichhe gard hai

hajla-e-tarik mein pai hai is ne parwarish
