Miraash

jo mere banne se pahle ik intizar bana
us intizar ke andar main baar baar bana

gard a.inon ki charon taraf hai jami hui
'alam 'ajib shisha-gari ki dukan hai

isi kafan se na Dhak jaa.e saara shahr kahin
mira janaza parinde uTha.e phirte hain

sang par sang ragaDne se hua jo paida
usi ahang ne raqs-e-sharar ijad kiya

thi kal dayar-e-'ishq men 'iduzzuha 'mirash'
ham kya gala kaTate 'ajab bheD-chal thi

ghar palaT kar jo miri raushan-khayali aa.i hai
shor hai shahr-e-sukhan men phir divali aa.i hai

thi kal dayaar-e-'ishq mein 'iduzzuhaa 'miraash'
ham kyaa galaa kaTaate 'ajab bheD-chaal thi

ghar palaT kar jo miri raushan-khayaali aai hai
shor hai shahr-e-sukhan mein phir divaali aai hai

jo mere banne se pahle ik intizaar banaa
us intizaar ke andar main baar baar banaa

khanak rahaa huun main nashshe mein chaabiyon ki tarah
khuli hai pyaas magar mai-kade pe taalaa hai

kis gardish-e-paiham mein miraa sho’la-e-dil hai
jaltaa hai lahu roghan-e-khurshid ki surat

gard aainon ki chaaron taraf hai jami hui
'aalam 'ajib shisha-gari ki dukaan hai
