BuDhapa

yun guman ho raha hai mere nadim
jaise ab gulsitan mein rang nahin

jaise ab dil mein kuchh umang nahin
aasman badliyon ki zad mein hai

zard-alud hain fazaen bhi
surKH suraj ki kapkapati kiran

chhu rahi hai ufuq ke sae ko
phailti ja rahi hai shab ki lakir

sehn-e-zindan ke chaar-payon par
Dubti meri KHwabida aankhen

dekhti jati hain purane KHwab
guzre ayyam ke adhure KHwab

zindagi se bhare sisakte KHwab
dast-o-bazu hain kitne pazh-murda

nabz-e-hasti hai kitni aahista
ek dil hai ki dhaDke jae hai

jaise girdab ta-safina koi
