Wo Dost Tha To Usi Ko Adu Bhi Hona Tha

wo dost tha to usi ko adu bhi hona tha

lahu pahan ke mujhe surKH-ru bhi hona tha

sunahri hath mein taza lahu ki fasl na di

ki apne haq ke liye jang-ju bhi hona tha

bagula ban ke samundar mein KHak uDana thi

ki lahar lahar mujhe tund-KHu bhi hona tha

mere hi harf dikhate the meri shakl mujhe

ye ishtihaar mere ru-ba-ru bhi hona tha

kashish thi phul si is mein to la-mhaala mujhe

asir-e-rang giraftar-e-bu bhi hona tha

saza to milna thi mujh ko barahana lafzon ki

zaban ke sath labon ko rafu bhi hona tha

safar ka bojh uThane se peshtar 'sajid'

mizaj-dan-e-rah-e-justuju bhi hona tha
