ek tasawwur be-karan tha aur main
dard ka sail-e-rawan tha aur main
gham ka ek aatish-fishan tha aur main

mere chehre se numayan kaun tha
aainon ka ek jahan tha aur main
ek shikasta naw thi ummid ki
ek bahr-e-be-karan tha aur main
justuju thi manzil-e-mauhum ki
ye zamin thi aasman tha aur main
kaun tha jo dhyan se sunta mujhe
qissa-e-ashuftagan tha aur main
hath mein 'ajmal' koi tesha na tha
azm tha koh-e-giran tha aur main
