Ek Aanch Ki Kami
suraj aasman se gira
aur lemun ban gaya
chand aasman se gira
aur kapas ka phul ban gaya
main tariKH ke minar se gira
aur waqia kyun na ban saka
pani dariyaon se nikla
aur jangal ban gaya
lafz kitab se nikla
aur aalim ban gaya
main us ki niyyat ke andhere se nikla
aur aazadi kyun na ban saka
hawa baadban se giri
aur mallah ka git ban gai
bosa honTon se gira
aur mohabbat ka parinda ban gaya
din uqab ki chonch se gira
aur suraj-mukhi ka bagh kyun na ban saka
tir kaman se nikla
aur baadshah ban gaya
shahzada mahal se nikla
aur jogi ban gaya
KHayal apne madar se nikla
aur nazm kyun na ban saka
KHwahish dil se giri
aur kala gulab ban gai
nukta dhyan se gira
aur sufi ban gaya
main zamin par gira
aur barish ka qatra kyun na ban saka!
