ZaKHm-e-tamanna

ek phul ka chaman mein talabgar main hua
wo phul khil raha tha sar-e-shaKH aarzu

wo phul sad-hazar gulistan mein intiKHab
wo phul dilkashi ki kahani ka shoKH bab

doshizgi ka KHwab bahaaron ki aab-o-tab
har pankhuDi nazakat-o-nuzhat liye hue

wo gul tha itr-dan-e-mohabbat liye hue
jazbaat ki tapish se machalne laga tha main

garmi-e-arzu se pighalne laga tha mein
resham ka jism rakhte hue KHar ban gaya

wo phul meri jaan ka aazar ban gaya
ek roz mere sath hua waqia ajab

betab ho ke dast-e-talab jab kiya daraaz
hasil jo samne tha bahut dil-KHarash tha

manus ungliyan jo huin nok-e-KHar se
ek ek qatra

un se Tapakne laga lahu
wo Tis thi ki

mujh ko
KHuda yaad aa gaya
