Diwar-e-chin

kahan se phaila hua hai ye silsila kahan tak
guzar gaya sail himmaton ka

bana ke ye kos kos sadiyon ki rahguzar si
pahaD chilla chaDhi kamanon se tir phenken

to aasman gir paDe zamin par
rawan-dawan waqt ke bahao mein

ek lambi daraD jaise paDi hui hai
azim diwar sar uThae khaDi hui hai

jhuke hue aasman ke niche
jo is sahife ko aks-dar-aks banTta hai

ye razmiya jo lahu ki shaffaf raushni se
likha gaya hai

zamin pe chingariyan uDate hue wo aae
jo bazuon se bulandiyon ka KHiraj

lete rahe
shikam ko anaj de kar

mashaqqaten jin ki bandiyan thin
lahu ke namkin zaiqe

raqs karte rahte the
jin ke honTon ke aastan par

kaDakti aawaz jabr ke chabukon ki bijli
inhi pahaDon pe kaundti thi

yahin pe mehnat ke naqsh-gar ne
lahu ke pani mein sang gundhe

sada-e-tisha uThi to kohon se phuT niklin
baqa ki nahren

zamin ko us ki bulandiyon ki taraf uThaya
ufuq ko bandha ufuq se us ne

qadim quwwat ke raKHsh ne das hazar li masafaton mein
fana ke tatariyon ke lashkar ko mat de di

yahin pe mehnat ke naqsh-gar ne
silon ko pahna diye salasil

baTe hue KHudgiraft qilon ki baD toDi
isi ne kohon ke sar pe gaDha

hazimaton nusraton ka parcham
kushud kar ke jise uDaya

kai zamanon ke warison ne
jo uD raha hai

nasheb ko aasman ki jaanib uDa raha hai
jo kal ko kal se mila raha hai
