Dilawar Ali Aazar
vo bahte dariya ki be-karani se Dar raha tha
shadid pyasa tha aur paani se Dar raha tha
nazar nazar ki yaqin-pasandi pe ḳhush thi lekin
badan badan ki guman-risani se Dar raha tha
sabhi ko niind aa chuki thi yuun to pari se mil kar
magar vo ik tifl jo kahani se Dar raha tha
larazte honTon se gir paḌe the huruf ik din
dil apne jazbon ki tarjumani se Dar raha tha
lughat-e-jan se kashid karte hue suḳhan ko
main ek harf-e-ghalat ma.ani se Dar raha tha
jama hua ḳhuun hai ragon men na jaane kab se
ruka hua ḳhvab hai ravani se Dar raha tha
vo be-nishan hai jise nishan ki havas thi ‘azar’
vo ra.egan hai jo ra.egani se Dar raha tha
