Wafa kaisi?

aaj wo aaKHiri taswir jala di hum ne
jis se is shahr ke phulon ki mahak aati thi

jis se be-nur KHayalon pe chamak aati thi
kaba-e-rahmat-e-asnam tha jo muddat se

aaj us qasr ki zanjir hila di hum ne
aag, kaghaz ke chamakte hue sine pe baDhi

KHwab ki lahr mein bahte hue aae sahil
muskuraate hue honTon ka sulagta hua karb

sarsaraate hue lamhon ke dhaDakte hue dil
jagmagate hue aawezan ki mubham fariyaad

dasht-e-ghurbat mein kisi hajla-nashin ka mahmil
ek din ruh ka har tar sada deta tha

kash hum bik ke bhi is jins-e-giran ko pa len
KHud bhi kho jaen par is ramz-e-nihan ko pa len

aql us hur ke chehre ki lakiron ko agar
aa miTati thi to dil aur bana deta tha

aur ab yaad ke is aaKHiri paikar ka tilism
qisa-e-rafta bana zist ki maton se hua

dur ek khet pe baadal ka zara sa TukDa
dhup ka Dher hua dhup ke haton se hua

us ka pyar us ka badan us ka mahakta hua rup
aag ki nazr hua aur inhi baaton se hua
