sadiyon ko behaal kiya tha
ek lamhe ne sawal kiya tha

mitti mein taswiren bhar ke
kuza-gar ne kamal kiya tha

bahar bajti shahnai ne
andar kitna nidhaal kiya tha

jurm faqat itna tha main ne
ek raste ko bahaal kiya tha

khushbu jaisi raat ne mera
apne jaisa haal kiya tha

ek sunahre hijr ne mujh se
kitna sabz visal kiya tha
