Nizam-e-shamsi

us ne apne safed papoTe jhapkae
maTyali aankhon se pure aasman ko taka

aur suraj ko god mein bhar kar bola
baDi aag hai tujh mein

chal tujhe qutub-shumali mein dafn karte hain
chhoTe chhoTe sayyaron ki bhi apni zindagi hoti hai

unhen apne apne kurre par ghumne de
kis mein pani hai

kis mein hawa
ye dekhna tera kaam nahin

apne sayyare pe zindagi ki alamaten DhunDhna
talash ka pahla nukta hai

teri duri farhat-baKHsh hai
qurbat andoh-gin

tujhe god mein le kar meri aaghosh mein chhaale paD gae
taKHliq ke pahle marhale mein

nizam-e-shamsi tartib dete hue
tujhe markaz mein rahne dena meri bhul to nahin
