Nazm

use chahen to aahen
dil ki sab rahen dhuen se tira-o-tarik kar Dalen

nigahen yun karahen
jaise ta-hadd-e-nazar us ki shuaen marg-asa jal phaila den

har ek shab sans ke taron ko uljhae
sahar-dam KHwab-gah par kasmapursi saya saya is tarah manDlae

pairahan-e-lahu mein tar-ba-tar jaise kisi turbat pe lahrae
use DhunDen to raste

jaan ke darpai
jahazon kashtiyon se lahlahate zindagi-parwar samundar

barf se bhar jaen
har jaanib milen koh-e-nida ghol-e-bayaban

aur kabhi KHemon ki KHuni dhajjiyan TuTi tanaben haDDiyan
haibat dilaen

karwan katraen
jaise hum zamin par bojh hon

har samt sidra hai
sitare KHushbuen jugnu hawaen sab ghalat raste bataen

panw nezon par chalen
aur wo to kya

dast-e-talab mein apni KHakistar bhi anqa ho
ise paen to sare mahl

gir jaen iram uTh jaen
peDon aur diwaron ke sae uD chalen

suraj ki kirnen muD chalen kuchh aur duniyaon ki jaanib
ungliyan uTThen sannaTon ki tarah

aur sath chalna KHalq ki ismat-dari jaise
zamin af af se fankaron se neshon se bhari jaise

use chahen to kya
DhunDhen to kaise

paen to pa kar kahan jaen
