Kahani

baDi lambi kahani hai sunoge?
sahar ki aankh khulne bhi na pai thi

mere tarkash ne lakhon tir barsae shuaon ke
kisi ne aaftabana har ek zarre ko chamkaya

kisi ne mahtabi chadaren har samt phailain
koi jugnu ki surat jhilmilaya

inhin bikhre hue tiron ke zer-e-saya
main chalta raha

har moD pe koi na koi waqia
koi na koi hadsa

mere ujale ko lipaT kar chaT kar
dimak-zada karta raha lekin

safar ki dhun salamat
jumbish-e-pa aage baDhti hi rahi

koh-e-giran piste rahe
sagar ki lahren dam-ba-KHud hoti rahin

main baDhte baDhte sarhad-e-imroz tak aa pahuncha
ye mana dur hai manzil

ye mana aabla-pa hun
ghubar-e-gardish-e-ayyam mein lipTa hua

lekin abhi phaila hua hai silsila mere ujalon ka
abhi tarkash mein lakhon tir baqi hain

abhi meri kahani KHatm ko pahunchi nahin hai
ye baDi lambi kahani hai
