Daera

roz baDhta hun jahan se aage

phir wahin lauT ke aa jata hun

bar-ha toD chuka hun jin ko

unhin diwaron se Takraata hun

roz baste hain kai shahr nae

roz dharti mein sama jate hain

zalzalon mein thi zara si garmi

wo bhi ab roz hi aa jate hain

jism se ruh talak ret hi ret

na kahin dhup na saya na sarab

kitne arman hain kis sahra mein

kaun rakhta hai mazaron ka hisab

nabz bujhti bhi bhaDakti bhi hai

dil ka mamul hai ghabrana bhi

raat andhere ne andhere se kaha

ek aadat hai jiye jaana bhi

qaus ek rang ki hoti hai tulu

ek hi chaal bhi paimane ki

goshe goshe mein khaDi hai masjid

shakl kya ho gai mai-KHane ki

koi kahta tha samundar hun main

aur meri jeb mein qatra bhi nahin

KHairiyat apni likha karta hun

ab to taqdir mein KHatra bhi nahin

apne hathon ko paDha karta hun

kabhi quran kabhi gita ki tarah

chand rekhaon mein simaon mein

zindagi qaid hai sita ki tarah

ram kab lauTenge malum nahin

kash rawan hi koi aa jata
