Jaun Eliya
ab vo ghar ik virana tha bas virana zinda tha
sab ankhen dam tod chuki thiin aur main tanha zinda tha
saari gali sunsan padi thi bad-e-fana ke pahre men
hijr ke dalan aur angan men bas ik saaya zinda tha
vo jo kabutar us mukhe men rahte the kis des ude
ek ka naam navazinda tha aur ik ka bazinda tha
vo dopahr apni rukhsat ki aisa-vaisa dhoka thi
apne andar apni laash uthae main jhuta zinda tha
thiin vo ghar raten bhi kahani vaade aur phir din ginna
aana tha jaane vaale ko jaane vaala zinda tha
dastak dene vaale bhi the dastak sunne vaale bhi
tha abad mohalla saara har darvaza zinda tha
piile patton ko sah-pahr ki vahshat pursa deti thi
angan men ik aundhe ghade par bas ik kavva zinda tha
