wahi jo rah ka patthar tha be-tarash bhi tha

ajib shaKHs hai patthar se par banata hai

mil bhi jata jo aab aab-e-baqa kya karte

dard ki lai ko baDha do ki main zinda hun abhi

zehn zinda hai magar apne sawalat ke sath

palak jhapakne mein kuchh KHwab TuT jate hain

lamha-dar-lamha guzarta hi chala jata hai

wo daeron se jo bahar na aa sake tanwir

teri yaadon ki kahani to nahin hai tanwir

riwayaton ko salibon se kar diya aazad
