Muneer Saifi
aisi mushkil men na jaan thi pahle
ziist kab itni garan thi pahle
asman tha na zamin thi koi
ka.enat ek dhuan thi pahle
dhuup bahrup pighalta sona
chandni ab-e-ravan thi pahle
ek maḳhsus sama.at sab ki
ek manus zaban thi pahle
qatl ke kab the ye saare saman
ek tiir ek kaman thi pahle
ye jo bijli si chamak jaati hai
saat pardon men nihan thi pahle
is jagah bank nahin hota tha
ik kitabon ki dukan thi pahle
kuchh to raste the sitaron aise
kuchh tabi.at bhi ravan thi pahle
phuul hi phuul khila karte the
mujh men ye aag kahan thi pahle
zaḳhm divar batata hai ‘munir’
ek tasvir yahan thi pahle
