Abul-ala-marri
kahte hain kabhi gosht na khata tha marri
phal-phul pe karta tha hamesha guzar-auqat
ek dost ne bhuna hua titar use bheja
shayad ki wo shatir isi tarkib se ho mat
ye KHwan-e-tar-o-taza marri ne jo dekha
kahne laga wo sahib-e-ghufran-o-luzumat
ai murghak-e-bechaara zara ye to bata tu
tera wo gunah kya tha ye hai jis ki mukafat?
afsos-sad-afsos ki shahin na bana tu
dekhe na teri aankh ne fitrat ke ishaaraat!
taqdir ke qazi ka ye fatwa hai azal se
hai jurm-e-zaifi ki saza marg-e-mufajat!
