tute shishe ki aakhiri nazm
bhagte waqt ko main aaj pakad laya hun

ye mera waqt mere zehn ki takhliq sahi
raat aur din ke tasalsul ko pareshan kar ke

main ne lamhat ko ek rup diya
subh ko raat ki zanjir se aazad kiya

khwab-o-bedi ki diwar gira di main ne
zindagi maut se kab tak yun hirasan rahti

kya hua waqt o haqiqat ka zawal
main

apni tuti hui zanjir kahan dafn karun
har taraf qabren mujawir hain

dewtaon ke muqaddas ajsam
har jagah dafn hain

koi virana nahin dur talak
kya mujhe apne hi zehn ke is goshe mein

tute aadarshon ke aaine mein
waqt ke aks ko dafnana hai
