sarhad-e-jism pe hairan khaDa tha main bhi

sarhad-e-jism pe hairan khada tha main bhi
apne hi sath sar-e-dar lada tha main bhi
wasta mujh ko samar se tha na targhib se tha
nim-wa hathon mein mitti ka ghada tha main bhi


rauzan-e-waqt mein damdar sada thi kis ki
sanp ki rah mein gathri mein pada tha main bhi
us ke sine mein jahannam tha lahu bhi lekin
ek suli ki tarah sath gada tha main bhi


kurra-e-arz pe nuqte ka nishan tha warna
apne sae ki zakhamat se bada tha main bhi
log aawezish-e-taqrib mein kis ko rote
zist ka kos to tha is se gada tha main bhi


kitni tarik shuaon se lahu bhi tapka
teri aankhon mein sar-e-sham jada tha main bhi
