rah gaya insan akela bastiyon ke darmiyan
gum hua suraj KHud apni tabishon ke darmiyan
hath lagte hi bikhar jate hain rangon ki tarah
phul se paikar samay ki aandhiyon ke darmiyan
ruh ki andhi gali mein chiKHta hai raat-din
jism ka zaKHmi parinda KHwahishon ke darmiyan
ban gaya zanjir mere panw ki mera wajud
qaid hai dariya bhi apne sahilon ke darmiyan
KHushk miTTi mein mili hai phir nae mausam ki bas
phir shajar nikhre baraste paniyon ke darmiyan
har taraf manzil nazar aae to phir jaun kahan
soch ka patthar bana hun raston ke darmiyan
naqsh hai aankhon mein apni mausam-e-gul ka saman
aaine shabnam ke rakkhe hain gulon ke darmiyan
yun safar ki gard mein lipTa hua paya 'nadim'
jis tarah aaya ho suraj baadalon ke darmiyan
Ghazal
Rah gaya insan akela bastiyon ke darmiyan
