KHabar mafqud hai lekin

KHabar mafqud hai lekin
lahu mein bhagti KHwahish umidon ke hare sahil pe hairan hai

use kashf-e-sahar jo bhi hua
suraj se KHali hai

use jo raste saunpe gae taqsim hote zawiyon mein sans lete hain
khuli aankhon mein raushan

chand taron ke chamakne se bahut pahle
ghanim-e-wusat-e-daman

hazaron chah DhunDh leta hai
KHabar mafqud hai lekin

hisar-e-zat se nikla hua jazba
sar-e-mehrab-o-member dar-o-maqtal tak nahin aaya

hua sattar qadam ka marsiya maile phaTe malbus
ghoDon ke sumon se meKH hoti aarzu apni gawahi kis tarah degi

muayyan hausle sanduqchon mein jaan-ba-lab hain
aur tawana bazuon mein

chuDiyon ki misl zanjir-e-kuhan aawaz deti hai
KHabar mafqud hai lekin

kaho tum to kaho jo baat kahna hai
