ye kis ne chehron pe tan di hai
na-ashnai ki phir se chadar

ki us ki ujli zamin pe main ne
brush se aankhon ke

ek paikar bana diya tha
wo ek paikar ki jis mein apne tamam khwabon ka khun bhara tha

bahaar ban kar khilin thin us par
meri tamanna ki sari kaliyan

magar wahan ab basera karti hai
na-ashnai

wo sari kaliyan
shanasa hun jin se umr-bhar ka

khilin to khushbu wo na-ashnai ki mere ghar mein
basa gai hain

meri nigahon ke sare manzar ko
dasht-e-viran bana gai hain
