thake to qafila wapas gharon ko moD liya

thake to qafila wapas gharon ko mod liya
safar se tod ke nata shajar se jod liya
kabhi jo rokna chahi zamin ki gardish
teri kalai ko hum ne zara marod liya


ghubar jo mere pichhe thaka thaka sa utha
samajh raha tha ki main ne ziyaada daud liya
gali mein chalte hue khinch li teri taswir
guzarne wale ne patta shajar se tod liya


phate libas mein kuchh 'aib badh gae mere
phir aasman hi apne badan pe odh liya
zara sahar ka alaram jo der se bola
qarib soi hui subh ko jhinjhod liya


ye aankh khwab se khali nahin hui 'haaris'
tapakte daman-e-tar ko bada nichod liya
