ye meri maut par chhuTTi ka din hai
calendar par chhapi ye aaj ki tariKH
meri maut hi se lal ho sakti thi shayad
sawere tak jo kali raushnai se likhi thi
maza hi kuchh alag hai aisi chhuTTi ka
achanak jo mili ho
ye mera aaKHiri tohfa hai apne sathiyon ko
wagarna pir ka din
kitna sar-dardi bhara hota hai daftar ka
ye duniya jaanti hai
Nazm
ChhuTTi ka din
Shariq Kaifi
