khuda ne alao jalaya hua hai
use kuchh dikhai nahin de raha hai

har ek samt us ke khala hi khala hai
simatte hue dil mein wo sochta hai

tajjub ki nur-e-azal mit chuka hai
bahut dur insan thethuka hua hai

use ek shola nazar aa raha hai
magar us ke har samt bhi ek khala hai

takhayyul ne yun us ko dhoka diya hai
azal ek pal mein abad ban gaya hai

adam is tasawwur pe jhunjhla raha hai
nafas-do-nafas ka bahana bana hai

haqiqat ka aaina tuta hua hai
to phir koi kah de ye kya hai wo kya hai

khala hi khala hai khala hi khala hai
