Nazm

jaise dariya kinare koi tishna-lab aaj mere khuda main ye tere siva aur kis se kahun mere khvabon ke khurshid

tum samajhti ho ye gul-dan men hanste hue phuul meri afsurdagi-e-dil ko mita hi denge ye hasin phuul ki hain

tum jo qatil na masiha thahre na ilaj-e-shab-e-hijran na gham-e-charagaran na koi dushna-e-pinhan na kahin khanjar-e-sam-aluda na qarib-e-rag-e-jan tum to

ehsas-e-avvalin ek mauhum iztirab sa hai ik talatum sa pech-o-tab sa hai umde aate hain khud-ba-khud aansu dil pe qaabu

ghubar-e-subh-o-sham men tujhe to kya main apna aks dekh luun main apna ism soch luun nahin miri majal bhi ki

main ne gul-rez baharon ki tamanna ki thi mujhe afsurda nigahon ke siva kuchh na mila chand sahmi hui aahon

jaan tum ko khabar tak nahin log aksar bura mante hain ki meri kahani kisi mod par bhi andheri gali

muddaton baad aai ho tum aur tumhen itni fursat kahan an-kahe harf bhi sun sako aarzu ki vo tahrir bhi

hiire moti laal javahar role bhar bhar thali apna kiisa apna daman apni jholi khali apna kaasa paara paara apna
