Poet Name: Ahmad Ata

main na hone se hua yaani badi taqsir ki kimiya-gar ne miri miti magar iksir ki un dinon aaya tha

kal khvab men ik pari mili thi ik bose ke baad ud gai thi main us ke liye dhanak bana

vo zamana hai ki ab kuchh nahin divane men naam leta hai junun ka kabhi anjane men qismat apni hai

dil koi phuul nahin aur sitara bhi nahin kar-e-duniya ka nahin aur tumhara bhi nahin ham kisi samt chalen raah

ye mira vahm to kuchh aur suna jaata hai ik guman hai ki tira aks dikha jaata hai ek tasvir

koi guman huun koi yaqin huun ki main nahin huun main dhundhta huun ki main kahin huun ki main nahin

hamen na dekhiye ham gham ke maare jaise hain ki ham to vaise hain us ke ishare jaise hain ye

ye aks aap hi bante hain ham se milte hain ki nakhunon ke baghair apne zakhm chhilte hain khabar mili

hui ghazal hi na kuchh baat ban saki ham se ye sarguzisht-e-junun kab bayan hui ham se sadak pe baith

khvab ka izn tha taabir-e-ijazat thi mujhe vo samay aisa tha marne men suhulat thi mujhe ek be-barg shajar dhund
