Gulzar
khuli kitab ke safhe ulatte rahte hain
hava chale na chale din palatte rahte hain
bas ek vahshat-e-manzil hai aur kuchh bhi nahin
ki chand sidhiyan chadhte utarte rahte hain
mujhe to roz kasauti pe dard kasta hai
ki jaan se jism ke bakhiye udhadte rahte hain
kabhi ruka nahin koi maqam-e-sahra men
ki tiile panv-tale se sarakte rahte hain
ye rotiyan hain ye sikke hain aur daere hain
ye ek duuje ko din bhar pakadte rahte hain
bhare hain raat ke reze kuchh aise ankhon men
ujala ho to ham ankhen jhapakte rahte hain
