yaad kyaa dast-e-hunar hai ki sa.Nvarataa gayaa mai.n

[hotkhan]

yaad kyaa dast-e-hunar hai ki sa.Nvarataa gayaa mai.n
us ko sochaa to use yaad hii karataa gayaa mai.n

is ko tahaziib-e-junuu.N kahiye ki mujh se pahale
jaise bikhare hai.n sabhii log bikharataa gayaa mai.n

naqsh kitane the ki maaduum hue sil_silaavaar
aur har naqsh ke pahaluu se ubharataa gayaa mai.n

ek tasviir banaa_ii thii mukammal na hu_ii
ek hii rang lahuu rang thaa bharataa gayaa mai.n

harf-e-ikraar hii kahataa rahaa beKhaufii se
yaanii inkaar ke aashob se Darataa gayaa mai.n

apane andar ke talaatum ne rakkhaa hai aabaad
Khud hii ikraar kiyaa Khud hii mukarataa gayaa mai.n

har nafas ba.Dhataa gayaa us kii tamannaa kaa Kharosh
lamhaa lamhaa isii vahashat me.n nikharataa gayaa mai.n

zindagii kuu-e-malaamat hai ko_ii kyaa Thahare
apanii hii vazaa kaa mai.n huu.N so Thaharataa gayaa mai.n
