Ab Kisi Ko Kya Bataen Kis Qadar Nadan The

Nafas Ambalvi

ab kisi ko kya bata.en kis qadar nadan the

ham vahin kashti ko le aa.e jahan tufan the

kuchh taḌapti arzuen chand be-ma.ani saval

karvan men sab ke sar par bas yahi saman the

ham ne is duniya ke mai-ḳhane men ye dekha fareb

bas vahi pyase rahe jo sahib-e-iman the

zalzalon par aa gaya ilzam achchha hi hua

varna is taḳhrib ke pahle se bhi imkan the

un ghamon ne dil men sadiyon ke vasile kar liye

jo faqat do-char din ke vaste mehman the

bas yahi sach hai ki ham ab un ki mahkumi men hain

jo ‘nafas’ apni haveli men kabhi darban the
