pahle dariya se sahra ho jata hun

pahle dariya se sahra ho jata hun
rote rote phir dariya ho jata hun
tanhai mein ek mahfil si rahti hai
mahfil mein ja kar tanha ho jata hun


us ke husn ke samne tum apni jaano
main to bilkul hi andha ho jata hun
jism pe jadu kar deti hai wo aaghosh
main dhire dhire bachcha ho jata hun


khub junun karta hun jab hota hun dukhi
is pagalpan mein achchha ho jata hun
aisi rawan hoti hai wasl mein abjad-e-jism
ek alif chalta hun ya ho jata hun


khak-e-rawan hun marta hun ek jaanib se
dusri jaanib se paida ho jata hun
jaane kya hota hai sha'iri karte waqt
bilkul ‘farhat-ehsasa’ ho jata hun
