Nazm

agar main ye nazm na likhta

to mohabbat naraaz ho jati

aur kahti ki main tumhaare sath

saDak par nahin karungi

chae nahin piyungi aur daftar mein

kaam nahin karungi

mohabbat ki naraazgi

kisi jang mein hone wale

nuqsan se ziyaada shadid hoti hai

wo aur bhi kuchh kahti

jo mujhe sunai na deta

aur main us ke nam ek KHat likhta

agar main wo KHat na likhta to mere dost naraaz ho jate

aur kahte hum itwar ke din tumhaare sath

cricket nahin khelenge

aur un mein se ek

railway-line par karte hue KHud-kushi kar leta

aur hamare lae hue phul

apni qabr pe rakhne se inkar kar deta

agar main KHat na likhta

agar main nazm na likhta

to zindagi apna zaiqa kis zaban pe mahsus karti

KHwab kis rasm-ul-KHat mein likhe jate

maut ke raste mein

bichhai jaane wali barudi surang

kaun si sar-zamin pe tayyar hoti

panah dene ke liye

hamesha kis mulk ki sarhaden khuli rahtin

dhamake se phaT jaane ke liye

har bar kaun sa dil aage baDhta
