Sal nau ke liye ek nazm

duaen aur duaon se bhari
be-ant tahriren

mujhe har sal ke in aaKHiri
lamhon mein milti hain

mere ahbab ke namon mein
aksar darj hota hai

KHuda mahfuz rakkhe
sal bhar mujh ko balaon se

mujhe zahr ab main lipTi hawaen
chhu ke na guzrin

mujhe maujud aur aane wale
sal ke lamhe

mubarak dar mubarak hon
yahi tahrir main ahbab ko

wapas luTata hun
yahi jazbaat mere doston

ke nam hote hain
magar phir waqt ke hathon

na jaane kya guzarti hai
ki jo bhi tir aata hai

usi jaanib se aata hai
jahan se itr mein Duba hua

paigham aaya tha
jahan se sal bhar

mahfuz rahne ka
hasin malfuf

mere nam aaya tha
