Fusun TuTta hai

ye tajridi KHakon ki taswir-gah hai
mera munh chiDane ko diwar-o-dar par kai masKH paikar Tange hain

mujhe ghurte hain Daraate hain mujh ko
main un sidhi-ulTi lakiron ke dam-e-riya mein ulajh gaya hun

bil-aKHir fusun-e-riya TuTta hai
nigah ek taswir ke chaukhaTe par lagi chiT par aa kar ruki hai

wahan us ki qimat likhi hai
jise dekh kar main phir us paikar-e-masKH ko dekhta hun

jahan ek bhayanak dahan hai
jo bad-rang mathe par phaila hua hai

sada aa rahi hai
ye bazar hai misr ka

is mein mear ki koi qimat nahin hai
yahan ek anTi pe yusuf se paighambar bik chuke hain

yahan balki qimat hi mear Thahre
