Ye Kya Bataen Ki Kis Rahguzar Ki Gard Hue

ye kya bataen ki kis rahguzar ki gard hue

hum aise log KHud apne safar ki gard hue

najat yun bhi bikharne ke karb se na mili

hue jo aaina sab ki nazar ki gard hue

ye kin dukhon ne cham-o-KHam tamam chhin liya

shua-e-mahr se hum bhi sharar ki gard hue

sab apne apne ufuq par chamak ke thoDi der

mujhe to daman-e-sham-o-sahar ki gard hue

pukaro kah ke hamein chhanw ji na bahlega

bache jo dhup se pa-e-shajar ki gard hue

hamein bhi bolna aata hai phir bhi hain KHamosh

ki hum tere suKHan-e-muKHtasar ki gard hue

dhula sa chehra bhi kuchh mand paD gaya aaKHir

hue na ashk teri chashm-e-tar ki gard hue

sharir-o-tund hawa thi ki rau maani ki

tamam lafz lab-e-mo'tabar ki gard hue

ye rah kitni pur-ashob hai 'faza' na kaho

qalam ki rah chale hum hunar ki gard hue
