ab-e-khufta men
ik sang phenka to hai
daere
sath-e-sakit pe ubhre hain
phenkenge
mit jaenge
aur vo sang-e-jan
apni ye dastan
zer-e-bar jumud-e-garan
ek sang-e-malamat ki manind
dohraega
vo jis ka intizar tha
vo jis ka intizar tha
shafaq ko
badalon ko
rahguzar ko abshar ko
khizan ki pattiyon ko
chandni ko
dhuup ko bahar ko
vo jis ki aarzu thi
saaton ko
khamushi ko
zehn ko khayal ko
tasavvur-e-muhal ko
khanakti pyaliyon ko
kursiyon ko
jaam ko ko na na-tamam ko
dopahar ko shaam ko
vo jis ki ahaten samaaton ke kunj men nihan thiin
jis ka aks
jalva-rez tha
basaraton ki jhiil men
vo kya faqat safa ka surmagin khiram tha
ki shakh-e-gul ka saya-e-khafif tha
ki mauj-e-ab par kiran ka irtiash tha
jo ek pal men samne se yuun guzar gaya
ki vo sabhi jo muntazir the
aankh malte rah gae
magar vo is tarah guzar gaya
ki yak-ba-yak vo intizar ki bisat hi ulat gai
vo khel khatm ho gaya
aur us ke baad
asman se zamin
zamin se asman tak
khala khala khala khala
