bujhti hui aankhon ka akela wo diya tha
bujhtī huī āñkhoñ kā akelā vo diyā thā
hijrāñ kī kaḌī shab meñ aziyyat se laḌā thā
ruktā hī nahīñ tujh pe nigāhoñ kā tasalsul
kal shaam tire haath meñ kañgan bhī nayā thā
ik chashm-e-tavajjoh se udhaḌtā hī gayā thā
vo zaḳhm ki jis ko baḌī mehnat se siyā thā
bargad ke isī peḌ pe utreñge parinde
sailāb-zada ghar ke jo āñgan meñ khaḌā thā
darvesh kī kuTiyā ke ye lāshe pe banī hai
vīrān shikasta sī havelī pe likhā thā
tasvīr meñ us ko hī sar-e-bām dikhāyā
mazdūr zamāne ke jo paañv meñ paḌā thā
vo zaḳhm judā.ī kā bhalā kaise dikhegā
malba jo mire jism kā andar ko girā thā
'bābar' ho ki bahkā huā jhoñkā yā sitāra
terī hī galī meñ hameñ jaatā vo milā thā
bujhti hui aankhon ka akela wo diya tha
hijran ki kaDi shab mein aziyyat se laDa tha
rukta hi nahin tujh pe nigahon ka tasalsul
kal sham tere hath mein kangan bhi naya tha
ek chashm-e-tawajjoh se udhaDta hi gaya tha
wo zaKHm ki jis ko baDi mehnat se siya tha
bargad ke isi peD pe utrenge parinde
sailab-zada ghar ke jo aangan mein khaDa tha
darwesh ki kuTiya ke ye lashe pe bani hai
viran shikasta si haweli pe likha tha
taswir mein us ko hi sar-e-baam dikhaya
mazdur zamane ke jo panw mein paDa tha
wo zaKHm judai ka bhala kaise dikhega
malba jo mere jism ka andar ko gira tha
'babar' ho ki bahka hua jhonka ya sitara
teri hi gali mein hamein jata wo mila tha
