ata ke zor-e-asar se bhi tut sakti thi
wo shakh bar-e-samar se bhi tut sakti thi

main dil mein sach ki numu se tha khauf khaya hua
ki sip tab-e-gohr se bhi tut sakti thi

usi pe tha mere har ek tir ka takiya
kaman jo khinch ke dar se bhi tut sakti thi

padi thi aah ko hi khud-numai ki warna
khamoshi dida-e-tar se bhi tut sakti thi

jude hue the bahut waswase khayalon se
so nind khwab ke shar se bhi tut sakti thi

dilon ki shishagari kar-gah-e-hasti mein
hunar ke zer o zabar se bhi tut sakti thi

ye aab wo tha ki aatish bhadak na pane ki
riwayat ek sharar se bhi tut sakti thi

main ek aisa kinara tha jis ki qurbat ko
wo lahar apne bhanwar se bhi tut sakti thi

har ek lashkari itra raha tha jis pe wo tegh
khayal-ha-e-zarar se bhi tut sakti thi

zamin na hoti agar is kamal ki hamil
qayamat aasman par se bhi tut sakti thi

tu khush-nasib tha warna teri ana ki fasil
kamala-e-sirf-e-nazar se bhi tut sakti thi
