khaali divaar buri lagti hai — Obaid Haris

apnaa sach us ko sunaane ke liye
ham ko qisson kaa havaala chaahiye

tah-ba-tah khulti hi rahti hai sadaa
'mir' ke divaan si hai zindagi

vaqt badlaa soch badli baat badli
ham se bachche kah rahe hain ham nae hain

nayaa chaar din mein puraanaa huaa
yahi sab huaa to nayaa kyaa huaa

ham kitaabon mein jise paate hain 'haaris'
aadmi vaisaa koi miltaa kahaan hai

sadaaein Dubti hain jab
khamoshi muskuraati hai
