main us daraKHt ka bas aaKHiri hi patta tha
jise hamesha hawa ke KHilaf laDna tha
main zindagi mein kabhi is qadar na bhaTka tha
ki jab zamir mujhe rasta dikhata tha
machine ban to chuka hun magar nahin bhula
ki mere jism mein dil bhi kabhi dhaDakta tha
wo bachcha kho gaya duniya ki bhiD mein kab ka
hasin KHwabon ki jo titliyan pakaDta tha
phir us ke baad parindon pe jaane kya guzri
main ek peD ki shaKHon ko kaT aaya tha
tamam-umr wo aaya nahin zamin pe kabhi
hawa mein us ne jo sikka jo kabhi uchhaala tha
mera wajud bhi shamil tha us ki miTTi mein
mera bhi khet ki faslon mein koi hissa tha
na jane kitni surangen nikal gain us se
khaDa pahaD bhi to aankh ka hi dhoka tha
jo baat baat pe khata raha KHuda ki qasam
qasam KHuda ki wahi aadmi to jhuTa tha
pata karo ki abhi wo baDa hua ki nahin
baDe daraKHt ke niche jo nanha pauda tha
us ek sher pe aankhen chamak uThi us ki
wo sher jis mein ki roTi ka zikr aaya tha
hamari zindagi thi ek talash pani ki
jahan pe ret ka 'dwij' ek chhanta dariya tha
Ghazal
Main us daraKHt ka bas aaKHiri hi patta tha
