RewaD

sham ki rakh mein luthDi hui Dhalwanon par

ek rewaD ke thake qadmon ka maddham aahang

jis ki har lahar dhundlakon mein luDhak jati hai

mast charwaha chara-gah ki ek choTi se

jab utarta hai to zaitun ki lanbi sonTi

kisi jalti hui badli mein aTak jati hai

bakriyan dasht ki mahkar mein gundha hua dudh

chhagalon mein liye jab raqs-kunan aati hain

koi chuDi KHam-e-dauran pe chhanak jati hai

jast bharti hai kabhi aur kabhi chalte chalte

nachti Dar mimakate hue buzghaalon ki

har jhuki shaKH ki chaukhaT pe ThiThuk jati hai

san par lakh chhuri siKH pe sad-para gosht

phir bhi madhosh ghazalon ki ye Toli hai ki jo

bar bar apne KHat-e-rah se bhaTak jati hai

sham ki rakh mein luthDi hui Dhalwanon par

khelti hai gham hasti ki wo shadan si umang

jis ki rau waqt ki pahnaiyon tak jati hai
