Poet Name: Abbas Tabish

vo aaya shahr ki taraf ik us ki chaap ki khanak qayam-e-roz-e-ishq ki pukar thi ki barg-o-bar-e-khak ka fishar thi

kisi ke baad apne hathon ki bad-surati men kho gai hai vo mujhe kahti hai ‘tabish’! tum ne dekha mere

saf-e-matam bichhi hai sukhan ka akhiri dar band hone ki khabar ne khidkiyon ke paar baithe ghamgusaron ko ye kaisi

vo kaisi hai use main ne nahin dekha suna hai vo zamin-zadi dhanak se apne khvabon ke ufuq gul-rang rakhti

andheri shaam ke sathi adhuri nazm se zor-azma hain bar-sar-e-kaghaz bichhadne ki suno… tum se dil-e-mahzun ki baten kahne valon

shafaq ke phuul thali men sajae sanvli aai charaghon se laven khinchin darichon men nami aai men samjha us se

kahan jaana tha mujh ko kis nagar ki khaak balon men sajana thi mujhe kin tahniyon se dhuup chunna thi

mujhe rasta nahin milta main jauhad men khile phulon ke haq men bol kar daldal ki tah men dhans gaya
