Asghar Gondvi
tu ek naam hai magar sada-e-ḳhvab ki tarah
main ek harf huun magar nishan-e-ab ki tarah
mujhe samajh ki main hi asl raz-e-ka.enat huun
dhara huun tere samne khuli kitab ki tarah
main koi giit huun magar sada ki bandishon men huun
mire lahu men raag hai sam-e-azab ki tarah
miri panah-gah thi unhi ḳhalaon men kahin
main sat.h-e-ab par raha habab-e-ab ki tarah
main ‘asghar’-e-hazin kabhi kisi ke doston men tha
vo din bhi mujh ko yaad hain ḳhayal-e-ḳhvab ki tarah
