khudaa-yaa apne kun ki laaj rakh le — Ahmad Sageer

zard mausam ne darakhton ki zabaan sil di thi
phir koi phuul hansaa aur khizaan haar gai

javaab aae na aae shikan to aaegi
savaal puchh hi lenaa agarche Darte hue

dastaras mein na rahe lafz-gari behtar hai
ham agar bol paDeinge to bahut boleinge

ajnabiyyat ki jhalak dekhi gai lahje mein
baat Darne ki hai is baat pe Dar jaaiye naa

khurach khurach ke tujhe zehn se miTaaungaa
main apne hosh ke naakhun zaraa baDhaa to luun

zard chehron se udaasi ke bichhaDne kaa sabab
log puchheinge to kah denaa ki dukh haar gayaa
