Kabhi asha'ar -e- painda nike...

Iss shahar se ek bashindaa nikle
Koi adab ka numaindaa nikle

Kal andhere mei.n jo soacha mai.ne
Khayaal kitne tabindaa nikle

Kuchh iss tarah se amal zoar kare
Tere bhiitar ka darindaa nikle

Wo mehfil se niklaa kho ke khudi
Marr hii jaye jo aaindaa nikle

Jism se jaan yu.n bhi nikle hai
Jaise pinjre se parindaa nikle

Baad marne ke jo talaashi lee
Uske khwaab to zindaa nikle

Mere lafzo.n ka lahu aaye nazar
Kabhi ashaar-e-paindaa nikle
*****

Tabinda-bright
Painda-everlasting
