musalsal ashk-bari kar raha tha
main apni aabiyari kar raha tha
mujhe wo KHwab phir se dekhna tha
main KHud pe nind tari kar raha tha
kai din tak tha meri dastaras mein
main ab dariya ko jari kar raha tha
mujhe ruk ruk ke panchhi dekhte the
main patthar par sawari kar raha tha
guzarna tha bahut mushkil udhar se
daricha chand-mari kar raha tha
koi atom tha mere jism-o-jaan mein
main jis ki tab-kari kar raha tha
safine sab ke sab gharqab kar ke
samundar aah-o-zari kar raha tha
mujhe fitrat bhi ghisti ja rahi thi
main KHud bhi reg-mari kar raha tha
meri duty thi KHemon ki hifazat
magar main aab-dari kar raha tha
sitare TimTimana ruk gae the
main phir aKHtar-shumari kar raha tha
mujhe bhiDna tha kis wahshi se lekin
main kis pagal se yari kar raha tha
bahut se kaam karne the 'liyaqat'
jinhen main bari bari kar raha tha
Ghazal
Musalsal ashk-bari kar raha tha
