Wo Hatif Ki Zaban Mein Kalam Karne Lagi

ek sham

us ne mujhe apni panah-gah se bahar nikala

aur apne sarsabz bazuon ke shahtut se

kashti tayyar ki

kashti jis ne sab se pahle

dusra kinara ijad kiya tha

aasman par chand

aadhi masafat tai kar chuka

to wo mujhe apni nai kashti mein biTha kar

samundar ki tah mein utarne lagi

jahan us ne

apne KHwab chhupa rakkhe the

agli sham

wo mujhe erosion ke mabad mein mili

jis ke chaaron or

siyah jangal ki baDh thi

us mabad ko sara rome

ummid-bhari nazron se dekhta tha

main

hatif ke ghaib-danon ke liye

bhuna hawa gosht

KHushbu-dar masale

roghniyat

aur

zaitun ki taza shaKH thame

muqaddas ahate mein

panah-guzin hawa

use dekh kar

hatif ki ziyarat-gah ki diwar

shaq ho gai
