khamushi se sawal mera tha
mujh se pahle zawal mera tha

waqt ka dhyan aaya tha us ko
mausamon ka khayal mera tha

mani-dar-mani us ki thi parwaz
lafz-dar-lafz jal mera tha

ghar ke bahar thi car daftar ki
ghar ke andar ka haal mera tha

ai 'tasawwur' na yaad aaya kabhi
sher jo hasb-e-haal mera tha
