khamoshiyon mein sada se likha hua ek nam
suno hai dast-e-dua se likha hua ek nam

har ek ki apni zaban hai na padh sakega bashar
zamin pe aab-o-hawa se likha hua ek nam

jo sun sako to suno khushbuon ke lab par hai
gulon pe baad-e-saba se likha hua ek nam

chamakta rahta hai jab tak kuredi jae na rakh
chita pe dast-e-fana se likha hua ek nam

ajib baat hai padhiye to harf udne lagen
badan badan pe qaba se likha hua ek nam

kabhi kabhi to baraste hue bhi dekha hai
falak pe kali ghata se likha hua ek nam

magar ye quwwat-e-binai kis tarah aai
hawa mein dekha hawa se likha hua ek nam

kabhi khulengi agar mutthiyan to dekhenge
hatheliyon pe hina se likha hua ek nam

ye kaenat to lagta hai 'nur' jaise ho
kisi ki khas ada se likha hua ek nam
