apni si khaak uDaa ke baiTh rahe — Shaheen Abbas

ye din aur raat kis jaanib uDe jaate hain sadiyon se
kahin rukte to main bhi shaamil-e-parvaaz ho saktaa

us ke baa'd agli qayaamat kyaa hai kis ko hosh hai
zakhm sahlaataa thaa aur ab daagh dikhlaataa huun main

ik zamaane tak badan be-khvaab be-aadaab the
phir achaanak apni uryaani kaa andaaza huaa

harf ke aavaaza-e-aakhir ko kar detaa huun nazm
sher kyaa kahtaa huun khaamoshi ko phailtaa huun main

ab khulaa khvaab mein kuchh khvaab milaataa thaa main
khaak uDaataa thaa main sayyaaron ki sayyaaron par

lahu ke kinaare bhi zad par hain donon
ye kyaa zakhm hai mundamil hone vaalaa
