rabt sahra se arsh ka dekha
baadalon ka jo qafila dekha

kahkashan ka wo aks hi to tha
main ne lahron mein rasta dekha

dali dali pe baith kar main ne
phal chakha aur zaiqa dekha

charkh ka pairahan to maila tha
dahr ka pairahan naya dekha

itna hi qurb ka hua ehsas
jitna mabain fasla dekha

jaeza jab liya bulandi ka
sheb se us ka wasta dekha

yun laga har jawan muammar hai
us ke hathon mein jo asa dekha

wo to bagule ka ham-nawa hoga
jis ko main tang par khada dekha

be-karan is liye hua sagar
us ne sahil ko jo khafa dekha

kya gagan arz ki kashish mein tha
us ko jo khak se ata dekha

mir-e-maidan ki to hai baat alag
kya mera ran mein hausla dekha

sar juda tha sharir se jaise
main ne bas ped ka tana dekha

har tarah us ka ehtiram kiya
jis ko apne se kuchh bada dekha

tu to maidan ka makin tha 'figar'
kab pahadon ka silsila dekha
