gaanv se guzregaa aur miTTi ke ghar le jaaegaa — Jamuna Parsad Rahi

lauT bhi aayaa to sadiyon ki thakan laaegaa
subh kaa bhulaa huaa shaam ko ghar aane tak

ajiib aag lagaa kar koi ravaana huaa
mire makaan ko jalte hue zamaana huaa

kachchi divaarein sadaa-noshi mein kitni taaq thiin
pattharon mein chikh kar dekhaa to andaazaa huaa

kashtiyaan Duub rahi hain koi saahil laao
apni aankhein miri aankhon ke muqaabil laao

sadiyon kaa intishaar fasilon mein qaid thaa
dastak ye kis ne di ki imaarat bikhar gai

main lafz-e-khaam huun koi ki tarjumaan-e-ghazal
ye faisla kisi taaza kitaab par Thahraa

mujid jo nuur kaa hai vo meraa charaagh hai
parvaana huun main anjuman-e-kaaenaat kaa

apni masti mein bahtaa dariyaa huun
main kinaara bhi huun bhanvar bhi huun

us ki tah se kabhi daryaaft kiyaa jaaungaa main
jis samundar mein ye sailaab ikaTThe honge

is raaz ko kyaa jaanein saahil ke tamaashaai
ham Duub ke samjhe hain dariyaa tiri gahraai

pyaas baDhti jaa rahi hai bahtaa dariyaa dekh kar
bhaagti jaati hain lahrein ye tamaashaa dekh kar

taalaab iraade kaa bhare pal mein labaalab
jab yaar ke dariyaa-e-karam suun lahr aave
