Nauha

tamam umr ke sud o ziyan ka bar liye?

har inqilab-e-zamana se munh chhupae hue

hayat o marg ki sarhad pe nim-KHwabida

main muntazir tha

masarrat ki koi dhundli kiran

zaman makan se pare ajnabi jaziron se

dam-e-sahar mujhe KHwabon mein DhunDti aae

fishaar-e-waqt ki sarhad se dur le jae

khuli jo aankh

tulu-e-sahar ne hans ke kaha

hisar-e-waqt se aage koi maqam nahin

samajh sako to zaman o makan ki qaid nahin

samajh sako

to yahi zat be-karan bhi hai
