kyun wo milne se gurezan is qadar hone lage
mere un ke darmiyan diwar rakh jata hai kaun
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’
main ne jo kuchh bhi likkha hai
wo sab harf-e-ainda hai
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
na jaane kaun fazaon mein zahr ghol gaya
hara-bhara sa shajar be-libas kaisa hai
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
sab ko dikhlata hai wo chhoTa bana kar mujh ko
mujh ko wo mere barabar nahin hone deta
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
un ke lab par mera gila hi sahi
yaad karne ka silsila to hai
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
use khilaunon se baDh kar hai fikr roTi ki
hamare daur ka bachcha janam se buDha hai
Abdussamad ’Tapish’
