un ki yaad mein bahte aansu khushk agar ho jaaeinge — Sadiq

uThaa hi laayaa sabhi raaste vo kaandhon par
yaqin us pe na kartaa to main kidhar jaataa

fursat ho to ye jism bhi miTTi mein dabaa do
lo phir main zamaan aur makaan se nikal aayaa

apne gale pe chalti chhuri kaa bhi dhyaan rakh
vo tez hai yaa kund zaraa dhaar dekh le

kaaT aagaahiyon ki fasl magar
zehan mein kuchh nae savaal ugaa

gumaan na thaa ki lifaafe mein khat ke badle vo
lahu-luhaan taDapti zabaan rakh degaa

is ghumti zamin kaa mehvar hi toD do
be-kaar gardishon pe khafaa ho rahe huun kyuun

gham hai na ab khushi hai na ummid hai na yaas
sab se najaat paae zamaane guzar gae

husn jalva dikhaa gayaa apnaa
ishq baiThaa rahaa udaas kahin

jab ki pahlu se yaar uThtaa hai
dard be-ikhtiyaar uThtaa hai

ik sadma-e-mohabbat ik sadma-e-judaai
ginti ke do hain lekin laakhon ki jaan par hain

ye saal tul-e-masaafat se chuur chuur gayaa
ye ek saal to guzraa hai ik sadi ki tarah

kisi ki yaad manaane mein iid guzregi
so shahr-e-dil mein bahut duur tak udaasi hai
