babin tafawut-e-rah

ajab tha hind-e-parina ka wo qanun bhi jis mein
jo koi mard aawara
kisi aurat ko sandal zewaraat-e-jauhar-o-zar pairahan mala sharab irsal karta to
zina ki ek surat mante the is amal ko bhi


kiye jate the jis par bhaari jurmane
tashshuq ghair ki biwi se paigham us ko bhijwana
aur us se chhed us ka pairahan chhuna
kisi aurat ki sohbat mein akele mein machal jaana


falatuni wafa ki aarzu karna
aur aankhon ke ishaaron se rasili guftugu karna
kisi talab mein us ki maiyyat mein nahana bhi
bahalna muskurana bhi


zina ki suraten thin sab
kiye jate the jurmane hamesha in jaraem par
ajab kirdar ki pakizgi ka wo tasawwur tha
ki jis mein itni bandish thi


ajab tha wo shiar apna
aur ab aazadgi lahra rahi hai be-khatar ho kar
koi bandish nahin khwahish ki laghzish par
ghazab hai ye shiar apna
