Ek nazm

qadam do qadam chal ke thak sa gaya hai
hamare muqaddar ka insan

daraKHton ne apne kai sare pazhmurda patte
hawaon ke ghar se bulae hain

thake-haare rah-raw pe saya karen
us ki KHatir shikasta dilon ka koi git

sab mil ke gaen!
zamin ne kaha hai, ye insan nahin tha

wagarna yun raste mein apne irade ki hitak na karta
yun apne hi sae se be-kar KHaif na hota

na manzil se ghabra ke raste mein girta
yun apne gharane ki tauhin karta!

hamare muqaddar ka insan manzil-ba-manzil
sitaron se guzra hai, bazm-e-nujum-o-qamar jagmaga kar

nishan-e-qadam ban gai hai
shikasta dilon ka sanam ban gai hai

KHudai ke phaile hue silsile hain haram ban gai hai
