sham ke surmai andhere mein
ek parinda uDan bharta hai
chahta hai kisi ka sath mile
raat ki be-qarariyon ka azab
yaad kar ke wo kanp uThta hai
is liye sham ke dhundalke mein
ghonsle ko wo chhoD deta hai
aur musalsal safar mein rahta hai
lekin us ka safar sada ki tarah
tishnagi ka azab sahta hai
Nazm
Sham ki uDan
