[~ Bikhre Lamhe ~]

Ajeeb khawish ha sehar walon se chup chupa k kitaab likhon
Tumhare naam apni zindagi ki kitaab ka intasab likhoon

Wo lamha kitna ajeeb tha jab humari aankhin gale milin thin
Main kis terha ab muhabbaton ki tishnagi k aazab likhon?

Tum hi ne mere ujaar rastoon pe khawishon k diye jalye
Tum hi ne chaha tha k khushk honton se chahon k gulaab likhon

Khabi wo din the k neind aankhon ki sarhadon se pare pare thi
Magar ab jab bi sona chahon,tumhari yaadon k khwab likhon

Saqi" tenha dayar-a-shab main jalyon sach k diye kehan tak
Siyah karoon ki saltanat main main kis terhan aftab likhon ?

Zidatoon k jinoon main jis k qadan lahoon say rangay hwea hain
Woh meray bas main nahi hain logon! k unko izaat-a-maab likhoon

Yahi buhat ha k in labon ko sada se mehron kar k rakh doun
Magar ya kaisi muslahat ha samandaron ko saarab likhon?

Agar wo pochin tu un se kehna un ka aashiq basta tha yehan
Dikhana un ko wo peepal ka peid
our kehna gaane wo tenhai mein gungunata tha yehan
Le jana un ko darwaze pe our kehna intezar
wo kiya karta tha yehan
Phir rakhna ungli dil pe our kehna
Shikayat karta tha k dard hota ha yehan
