dhup thi sahra tha lekin jism ka saya na tha
dhuup thī sahrā thā lekin jism kā saaya na thā
aadmī is se ziyāda to kabhī tanhā na thā
khīñchte the apnī jānib regzāroñ ke sarāb
duur tak sahrā meñ lekin aab kā qatra na thā
ek mub.ham ḳhvāb thā āñkhoñ meñ aur dil meñ junūñ
zehn meñ lekin imārat kā koī naqsha na thā
bhiiḌ thī bastī meñ lekin maiñ kise pahchāntā
itne logoñ meñ kisī bhī shaḳhs kā chehra na thā
is qadar shiddat se vo dariyā samundar se milā
ab samundar hī samundar thā kahīñ dariyā na thā
ghar kī azmat haa.e jis dīvār se mahfūz thī
ghar ke darvāze pe ab vo TaaT kā parda na thā
vo ġhazal apnī sajātā thā lahū ke rañg se
phir bhī kahte haiñ 'nafas' us kā koī pesha na thā
dhup thi sahra tha lekin jism ka saya na tha
aadmi is se ziyaada to kabhi tanha na tha
khinchte the apni jaanib regzaron ke sarab
dur tak sahra mein lekin aab ka qatra na tha
ek mubham KHwab tha aankhon mein aur dil mein junun
zehn mein lekin imarat ka koi naqsha na tha
bhiD thi basti mein lekin main kise pahchanta
itne logon mein kisi bhi shaKHs ka chehra na tha
is qadar shiddat se wo dariya samundar se mila
ab samundar hi samundar tha kahin dariya na tha
ghar ki azmat hae jis diwar se mahfuz thi
ghar ke darwaze pe ab wo TaT ka parda na tha
wo ghazal apni sajata tha lahu ke rang se
phir bhi kahte hain 'nafas' us ka koi pesha na tha
