samaat ke liye ek imtihan hai
KHamoshi in dinon misl-e-bayan hai
safar apne hi bhitar kar raha hun
mera Thahraw muddat se rawan hai
hawas shamil hai thoDi si dua mein
abhi is lau mein halka sa dhuan hai
naya ek KHwab dekhen aur roen
ab itni tab aankhon mein kahan hai
uDa deti hai apni KHak jab tab
zamin ki justuju bhi aasman hai
tabhi aahon ke sur uThte hain is se
hamara soz-e-jaan hi saz-e-jaan hai
hamesha dur se dekha kiya hun
jahan mujh ko jawahir ki dukan hai
mera kirdar is mein ho gaya gum
tumhaari yaad bhi ek dastan hai
mohabbat ek kashti muKHtasar si
tamannaon ka dariya be-karan hai
main sare fasle tai kar chuka hun
KHudi jo darmiyan thi darmiyan hai
‘bakul’ KHwabon ke panchhi aa base hain
hamara aashiyan ab aashiyan hai
