Meri Manind KHud-nigar Tanha

meri manind KHud-nigar tanha

ye surahi mein phul nargis ka

itni shamen thin teri yaadon ki

apna saya bhi apna saya na tha

mere nazdik teri duri thi

koi manzil thi koi aalam tha

hae wo zindagi-fareb aankhen

tu ne kya socha main ne kya samjha

subah ki dhup hai ki raston par

munjamid bijliyon ka ek dariya

ghungruon ki jhanak-manak mein basi

teri aahaT! main kis KHayal mein tha

phir kahin dal ke burj par koi aks

faslon ki fasil se ubhra

phul murjha na jaen bajron mein

manjhiyo koi git sahil ka

waqt ki sarhaden simaT jatin

teri duri se kuchh baid na tha

umr jalti hai baKHt jalwon ke

zist miTti hai bhag miTTi ka

rahen dardon ki chaukiyan chaukas

phul lohe ki baD par bhi khila

jo KHud un ke dilon mein tha tah-e-sang

wo KHazana kisi kisi ko mila

lakh qadren thin zindagani ki

ye muhit ek ajib zawiya tha

hai jo ye sar pe gyan ki gaThri

khol kar bhi ise kabhi dekha

roz jhukta hai ku-e-dil ki taraf

kaKH-e-sad-baam ka koi zina
