ye jo virane mein baiTha hua hai

ye jo virane mein baitha hua hai
kisi aawaz se bichhda hua hai
talafi is ki tanhai se hogi
teri mahfil mein jo ghata hua hai


kahan tak mitti samjhaute karae
hamara chaak se jhagda hua hai
lachak thi hi nahin gardan mein apni
badi mushkil se ek sajda hua hai


mujhe pina hai jis kuze mein pani
abhi wo chaak pe rakkha hua hai
sajata rahta hun jo sha'iri mein
wo sab kuchh aap ka phenka hua hai


andheri raat hai aur ek jugnu
faza mein dur tak phaila hua hai
palegi kis tarah nasl-e-musannif
kitabon mein yahi likkha hua hai
