Qurb-e-qayamat

ye chiDiya jo pankhe se Takra gai hai

use to faqat aashiyana banane ki dhun thi

use waqt ki piTh se lakh do lakh salon ke girne ka andaza kab tha

use kya KHabar thi

wo sarsabz ayyam murjha chuke hain

wo insan se pahle ke shadab jangal

jahan ghonslon aur uDanon ke ma-bain

dhaton ki parran faslen nahin thin

uqabon ke par aaj bhi sarsaraen

to masum chiDiyon ke dil sahm jaen

magar un ko malum kya hai

ki qurb-e-qayamat ke aasar paida hain

be-jaan lohe ko par lag gae hain
