dhund ke pare ek din
raushni ke haale mein
wo mujhe nazar aaya
jaise dewta koi
muntazir ho dasi ka
main ne ru-ba-ru ho kar
us se iltija ki thi
doge raushni apni mustaar leni hai
har taraf andhera hai
mezbani karni hai
kuchh KHarab haalon ki
ruh ki kasafat ka
dil pe bojh hai jin ke
chand zaKHm aise hain
jo ki bhar na paenge
gar nahin mile un ko
raushni ke ye haale
meri baat sun kar wo
muskura ke bola tha
be-niyaz shahzadi
jaan kyun nahin letin
raushni ka rauzan to
sirf tum se khulta hai
dhundlata har manzar
is liye to wazeh hai
jhilmilati ye kirnen
tum se hi to phuTi hain
KHud ko joD lo KHud se
raushni to tum se hai
Nazm
Dhund ke par
