August 1963
maiñ ham-nafasāñ jism huuñ vo jaañ kī tarah thā
maiñ dard huuñ vo dard ke unvāñ kī tarah thā
jis ke liye ik umr kueñ jhāñkte guzrī
vo māh-e-karachi mah-e-kan.āñ kī tarah thā
tū kaun thā kyā thā ki baras guzre par ab bhī
mahsūs ye hotā hai rag-e-jāñ kī tarah thā
jis ke liye kāñTā sā chubhā kartā thā dil meñ
pahlū meñ vo aayā to gulistāñ kī tarah thā
ik umr ulajhtā rahā duniyā kī havā se
kyā maiñ bhī tere kākul-e-pechāñ kī tarah thā
kuchh umr-e-gurezāñ se mire haath na aayā
har lamha tire gosha-e-dāmāñ kī tarah thā
Duube se kahāñ pyaas bujhī ahl-e-talab kī
maiñ vādī-e-gul meñ bhī bayābāñ kī tarah thā
jiinā to ġhazab hai magar ai umr ajab hai
tujh ko to ḳhabar hai vo mirī jaañ kī tarah thā
ai raat ke añdhiyāre meñ jaage hue lamho
DhūñDo use vo ḳhvāb-e-pareshāñ kī tarah thā
miTTī ko yahāñ paañv pakaḌnā nahīñ aatā
maiñ shahr meñ bhī gard ke tūfāñ kī tarah thā
lo harf-e-ġhazal ban ke numāyāñ huā 'bāqar'
kal ramz sifat ma.anī-e-pinhāñ kī tarah thā
main ham-nafasan jism hun wo jaan ki tarah tha
main dard hun wo dard ke unwan ki tarah tha
jis ke liye ek umr kuen jhankte guzri
wo mah-e-karachi mah-e-kanan ki tarah tha
tu kaun tha kya tha ki baras guzre par ab bhi
mahsus ye hota hai rag-e-jaan ki tarah tha
jis ke liye kanTa sa chubha karta tha dil mein
pahlu mein wo aaya to gulistan ki tarah tha
ek umr ulajhta raha duniya ki hawa se
kya main bhi tere kakul-e-pechan ki tarah tha
kuchh umr-e-gurezan se mere hath na aaya
har lamha tere gosha-e-daman ki tarah tha
Dube se kahan pyas bujhi ahl-e-talab ki
main wadi-e-gul mein bhi bayaban ki tarah tha
jina to ghazab hai magar ai umr ajab hai
tujh ko to KHabar hai wo meri jaan ki tarah tha
ai raat ke andhiyare mein jage hue lamho
DhunDo use wo KHwab-e-pareshan ki tarah tha
miTTi ko yahan panw pakaDna nahin aata
main shahr mein bhi gard ke tufan ki tarah tha
lo harf-e-ghazal ban ke numayan hua 'baqar'
kal ramz sifat mani-e-pinhan ki tarah tha
