ek KHwab ke fasle pe lahu hai
kohsar ke surmai kinare
wadi se shafaq uchhaalte hain
ji mein ye bhara hua sunahra
bhitar mein ruka hua dasahra
kaghaz pe numu karega kab tak
ai harf-e-sitara-saz ab to
uThti hai qanat raushni ki
zulmat ka shiar hai ikahra
KHufta hai jihat jihat ujala
imkan hai basit aur gahra
Nazm
Zar-e-nab
Akhtar Usman
