huyi hai zard si dekho zameeN miri hi tarha
zara si KHushk hai, banjar naheeN miri hi tarha

naseem-e-subha ke jhauNkoN meN jhoomta bargad
yeh keh raha hai "kaho aafreeN miri hi tarha"

ise bhi apne darooN ka kabhi to gyaan mile
yeh sho'la ho agar aayeena beeN miri hi tarha

bhaNvar meN Doob na jaao kaheeN gumaanoN ke
gaye jo tum soo-e-behr-e-yaqeeN, miri hi tarha

ise bhi shaam ne aaNchal meN apne DhaaNp liya
yeh din bhi dekho hua ahmareeN miri hi tarha

ufaq bhi raat ke aane ke KHauf se Yawar
paTaKH raha hai zameeN par jabeeN miri hi tarha

KHud qalam ban ke, TooT kar likkhi

KHud qalam ban ke, TooT kar likkhi
aik hi nazm umr bhar likkhi

us ne qismat meN kab sahar likkhi
likh bhi di gar, to muKHtasar likkhi

likkhi taqdeer meri be aeraab
aur nuqte bhi chhoR kar likkhi

mere qirtaas-e-umr par us ne
har kaThin rah safar safar likkhi

kya vo maaneN ge daastaaN teri?
doosre ruKH se maiN ne gar likkhi?

dekhna to kiran ne sooraj ki
behte paani pe kya KHabar likkhi

musHaf-s-shab pe aik din Yawar
paRh hi looN ga kaheeN sahar likkhi

be par tha jism aur tha paikar lahoo lahoo

be par tha jism aur tha paikar lahoo lahoo
pinjre meiN ik aseer ka tha sar lahoo lahoo

darpan hi mere aage naheeN TooTte rahay
hota raha hooN maiN bhi baraabar lahoo lahoo

pehle KHizaaN ke waar ne ghaayal mujhe kiya
phir aayi mujh ko dekhne sar sar lahoo lahoo


kya ahmereeN si shaam thi apne vidaa ki 
lagne lage the saare hi manzar lahoo lahoo

shab bhar jo teergi se laRaa tha pas-e-falak
aaya ufaq pe lauT ke ho kar lahoo lahoo

dekho kinaar-e-shaam shafaq ki ye surKHiyaaN
hone laga hai jin se samandar lahoo lahoo

aa aa ke lauTti rahi ik yaad raat bhar
chipki huyi haiN dastakeiN dar par lahoo lahoo

umr-e-udaas sadiyoN se kya kaaTti rahi

umr-e-udaas sadiyoN se kya kaaTti rahi
paihan safar safar se sivaa kaaTti rahi

meri baseerateiN to miray dil meiN theeN nihaaN
ashkoN ki dhaar! tu bhi ye kya kaaTti rahi

izhaar ke junooN ne na jeene diya mujhe
ik phaaNs thi alag jo galaa kaaTti rahi

aate huye zamaanoN se jab guftugu huyi
meri har aik baat hava kaaTti rahi

 aansui ne mere kitne gagan rang se bhare 
ik booNd har kiran ka gala  kaaTti rahi

sadiyoN se maiN na kaaT saka umr-e-naa tamaam
ik pal ki umr mujh ko sada kaaTti rahi

takmeel ki talab ne adhoora kiya mujhe
likkha har aik shair miraa kaaTti rahi

Be basi
