apne pahle makan tak ho aaun
main zara aasman tak ho aaun
koi paikar pukarta hai mujhe
samne ki chaTan tak ho aaun
jhaDta jata hai jism roz-ba-roz
kuza-gar ki dukan tak ho aaun
sehr-e-tashkik! ab rihai de
main koi dam guman tak ho aaun
waqt ab dastaras mein hai 'aKHtar'
ab to main jis jahan tak ho aaun
Ghazal
Apne pahle makan tak ho aaun
Akhtar Usman
