Tahrir Ki Fursat

Dakiya sare jahan ki KHabren

le kar aata hai magar mere liye

kitni aawazen mere sath chala karti hain

kabhi man bap ke rone ki sada

kabhi ahbab ke phaTte hue juton ki dukhan

kabhi duniya ke chaTaKHte hue aaza ki pukar

subh-ta-sham wahi ek shab ka aahang

dar o diwar pe uDti hui rahon ka ghubar

rakh-dani mein wahi saikaDon sochon ka dhuan

chae ki pyaliyan phenke hue lamhat ko lipTae hue

shelf mein dubke hue zehn ke na-poKHta-nuqush

mez par nisf KHaton ka ambar

kaun jaane unhen tahrir ki fursat kab ho?
