ravaani mein nazar aataa hai jo bhi — Zulfiqar Aadil

yuun uThe ik din ki logon ko huaa
abr kaa dhokaa hamaari khaak par

vaapas palaT rahe hain azal ki talaash mein
mansukh aap apnaa likhaa kar rahe hain ham

baiThe baiThe isi ghubaar ke saath
ab to uDnaa bhi aa gayaa hai mujhe

ye kis ne haat peshaani pe rakkhaa
hamaari niind puuri ho gai hai

baiThe baiThe pheink diyaa hai aatish-daan mein kyaa kyaa kuchh
mausam itnaa sard nahin thaa jitni aag jalaa li hai

dasht-o-dariyaa ki ibtidaa se hain
ham vahi tiin din ke pyaase hain
