judai
mohabbat ke dariya-e-KHun ki
muawin nadi hai
wafa
yaad ki shaKH-e-marjaan se
lipTi hui hai
dil-aram o ushshaq sab
KHauf ke daere mein khaDe hain
hawaon mein boson ki basi mahak hai
nigahon mein KHwabon ke TuTe hue aaine hain
dilon ke jaziron mein
ashkon ke nilam chhupe hain
ragon mein koi rud-e-gham bah raha hai
magar dard ke bij paDte rahenge
magar log milte bichhaDte rahenge
ye sab gham purane
ye milne bichhaDne ke mausam purane
purane ghamon se
nae gham ulajhne chale hain
labon par nae nil
dil mein nae pech paDne lage hain
ghanim-asmanon mein
dushman jahazon ki sargoshiyan hain
sitaron ki jalti hui bastiyan hain
aur aankhon ke radar par
sirf tarik parchhaiyan hain
hamein maut ki tez KHushbu ne pagal kiya hai
umidon ki surKH aab-dozon mein sahme
tabahi ke kale samundar mein
bahte chale ja rahe hain
karan-ta-karan
ek gaDha kasila dhuan hai
zamin teri miTi ka jadu kahan hai
Nazm
Maut ki KHushbu
