ab nishana us ki apni zat hai
laD raha hai ek anokhi jang wo
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
main bhi tanha is taraf hun wo bhi tanha us taraf
main pareshan hun to hun wo bhi pareshani mein hai
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
kyun wo milne se gurezan is qadar hone lage
mere un ke darmiyan diwar rakh jata hai kaun
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
kuchh haqaeq ke zinda paikar hain
lafz mein kya bayan mein kya hai
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
koi column nahin hai hadson par
bacha kar aaj ka aKHbar rakhna
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
kaun patthar uThae
ye shajar be-samar hai
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
jahan tak panw mere ja sake hain
wahin tak rasta Thahra hua hai
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
jafa ke zikr pe wo bad-hawas kaisa hai
zara si baat thi lekin udas kaisa hai
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
hawa-e-tund kaisi chal paDi hai
shajar par ek bhi patta nahin hai
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
