Fikr Mein Dube The Sab Aur Ba-hunar Koi Na Tha
fikr mein Dube the sab aur ba-hunar koi na tha
zindagi ki shaKH par puKHta samar koi na tha
ga rahe the apni apni dhun mein sab ghazlen magar
'mir'-o-'ghaalib' 'dagh'-o-'hasrat' ya 'jigar' koi na tha
raat-bhar zulmat mein lipTi bastiyan kahti rahin
chand tare kahkashan jugnu qamar koi na tha
dekhne mein yun ba-zahir sab hamare sath the
jab saron par dhup aai ham-safar koi na tha
KHun ke rishton ki garmi sard thi chaaron taraf
sab tasalli de rahe the chaaragar koi na tha
rind-o-zahid shaiKH-o-sufi sab ke sab tishna hi the
kis ko dete mai-kada jab mo'atabar koi na tha
phir ye socha likh hi bhejun haal-e-dil us ko magar
uD chuke the sab kabutar nama-bar koi na tha
zindagi-bhar bhigti palken thin us ki muntazir
hum se baDh kar KHud se 'zakir' be-KHabar koi na tha
