zakhmon ne mujh mein darwaze khole hain
main ne waqt se pahle tanke khole hain

bahar aane ki bhi sakat nahin hum mein
tu ne kis mausam mein pinjre khole hain

barson se aawazen jamti jati thin
khamoshi ne kan ke parde khole hain

kaun hamari pyas pe daka dal gaya
kis ne mashkizon ke tasme khole hain

warna dhup ka parbat kis se katta tha
us ne chhatri khol ke raste khole hain

ye mera pahla ramzan tha us ke baghair
mat puchho kis munh se roze khole hain

yun to mujh ko kitne khat mausul hue
ek do aise the jo dil se khole hain

mannat manne walon ko malum nahin
kis ne aa kar ped se dhage khole hain

dariya band kiya hai kuze mein 'tahzib'
ek chabi se sare tale khole hain
