ajab yaqin sa us shaKHs ke guman mein tha
wo baat karte hue bhi nai uDan mein tha
Tabish Kamal
hum us dharti ke bashinde the 'tabish'
ki jis ka koi mustaqbil nahin tha
Tabish Kamal
jis ne insan se mohabbat hi nahin ki 'tabish'
us ko kya ilm ki pindar se aage kya hai
Tabish Kamal
kai paDaw the manzil ki rah mein 'tabish'
mere nasib mein lekin safar kuchh aur se the
Tabish Kamal
kab khulega ki falak par se aage kya hai
kis ko malum ki diwar se aage kya hai
Tabish Kamal
koi izhaar kar sakta hai kaise
ye lafzon se zaban ka fasla hai
Tabish Kamal
na dekhen to sukun milta nahin hai
hamein aaKHir wo kyun milta nahin hai
Tabish Kamal
utar gaya hai rag-o-pai mein zaiqa us ka
ajib shahad sa kal raat us zaban mein tha
Tabish Kamal
yaqin se jo guman ka fasla hai
zamin se aasman ka fasla hai
Tabish Kamal
