parind unchi uDaanon ki dhun mein rahtaa hai — Khaleel Tanveer

vo log apne aap mein kitne aziim the
jo apne dushmanon se bhi nafrat na kar sake

auron ki buraai ko na dekhun vo nazar de
haan apni buraai ko parakhne kaa hunar de

rusvaa hue zalil hue dar-ba-dar hue
haq baat lab pe aai to ham be-hunar hue

parind shaakh pe tanhaa udaas baiThaa hai
uDaan bhuul gayaa muddaton ki bandish mein

teri aamad ki muntazir aankhein
bujh gaiin khaak ho gae raste

main kyaa huun kaun huun kyaa chiiz mujh mein muzmar hai
kai hijaab uThaae magar hijaab mein huun
