Anwar Masood
paḌhne bhi na paa.e the ki vo miT bhi ga.i thi
bijli ne ghaTaon pe jo tahrir likhi thi
chup saadh ke baiThe the sabhi log vahan par
parde pe jo tasvir thi kuchh bol rahi thi
lahrate hue aa.e the vo amn ka parcham
parcham ko uTha.e hue neze ki ani thi
Duube hue taron pe main kya ashk bahata
chaḌhte hue suraj se miri aankh laḌi thi
is vaqt vahan kaun dhuan dekhne jaa.e
aḳhbar men paḌh lenge kahan aag lagi thi
shabnam ki taravish se bhi dukhta tha dil-e-zar
ghanghor ghaTaon ko barasne ki paḌi thi
palkon ke sitare bhi uḌa le ga.i ‘anvar’
vo dard ki andhi ki sar-e-sham chali thi
