TuTa Hua Ufuq

miyanwali bhi apni rut badalta hai magar

mere dil ki zaminon par

wahi mausam KHizan ka

wahi be-shakl chehra aasman ka

wahi be-ab dariya dastan ka

wahi be-ruh manzar hain

wahi be-rang taswiren

wahi chashme wahi, ubla hua pani

daraKHton se

musalsal bhap ban kar uTh raha hai

pighalti ja rahi hain meri raaten

sawa neze pe suraj hai

magar shab ki siyahi uD rahi hai meri miTTi mein

mere andar ki faslen

tirgi ki dhup mein murjha gai hain

mujhe koi shikast-e-zat ki illat bata de!
