main ajab aadmi hun
raegani ke tasalsul ne mujhe toD diya
meri punji mere qirtas o qalam
kuchh kitaben pae-taskin-e-junun
kaun talib hai bhala maya-e-be-maya ka
koi jagir nahin
zindagi sher ke mele mein ganwa di main ne
is pe nazan tha ki har lafz mere
halqa-e-ehsas mein hai
is pe faKHir tha ki hain KHwab
mere kise mein
main ne kya kya na fan-e-sher ki aaraish ki
lafz-dar-lafz mahal
harf-dar-harf KHayal
satr-dar-satr junun
main ajab aadmi hun
zindagi sher ke mele mein ganwa di main ne
Nazm
Main ajab aadmi hun
Akhtar Usman
