Poet
kal jo rone par mire tuk dhyan us ka pad gaya
hans ke yuun kahne laga ”kuchh aankh men kya pad gaya?”
baithe baithe aap se kar baithta huun kuchh gunah
paanv padne ka jo us ke mujh ko chaska pad gaya
jang-jui kya kahun us ki ki kal-parson men aah
sulh tuk hone na paai thi ki jhagda pad gaya
sozish-e-dil kuchh na puchho tum ki tuk siine pe raat
haath rakhte hi hatheli men phaphula pad gaya
bas ki tha be-bal-o-par main daman-e-sayyad par
khuun bhi ud kar dam-e-bismil na mera pad gaya
jo mire bad-go hain tum un ko samajhte ho bhala
vah-va mujh se tumhen ye bair achchha pad gaya
kyuun pada dam todta hai bistar-e-gham par dila
aah kis be-dard ke milne men toda pad gaya
behtari ka munh na dekha mar hi kar paai najat
kudhte kudhte dil mira bimar aisa pad gaya
baten karte karte pyare dil dhadakne kyuun laga
sun ke kuchh aahat kaho kya dil men khatka pad gaya
ruk gaya aisa hi vo jo phir na aaya kal jo tuk
haath us ke paanv par bhule se mera pad gaya
main to yaan is baat par apne pada malta huun haath
aur saare shahr men kuchh aur charcha pad gaya
garche huun main naam ko ‘jurat’ par ab us ki taraf
aankh utha sakta nahin ye dil men khatra pad gaya
