Zarb-e-paiham

ye kya zarb-e-paiham si
har dam hai sine pe mere

kabhi zarb ulTi lagi ya
meri pusht KHud zarb-e-paiham se ulTi

tu phir riDh ki haDDiyan meri chTKHin
ki sarhad pe jun ek masum bachche ki haDDi

mujahid ke buTon ki zad mein paDi charmaraati rahi ho
to kya zarb-e-paiham se pichha chhuDana bhi mumkin nahin hai?

nahin hai to kya main bhi sikhun
wahi zarb-e-paiham ki sari adaen?

ki ye zarb-e-paiham muqabil kabhi zarb-e-paiham ke aae
ye mumkin hai ifham-o-tafhim ki koi surat bhi nikle

koi sur mohabbat ka phuTe, faza gungunae
