Yeh nazm buhat pehley eik baar post ki thi per phir shiddat sey dil chaha he isko dobara post karney ko, so gawara kijiye …
**Yeh jo waqt he mery shehar par kayi mosmooN sy ruka hoya
issy izn dy keh safar kary
issy khukm dy keh chal parhy, mery aasmaaN sy door ho
koyi chand chehra kushaa kary, koyi aaftaab zahoor ho
keh nawah-e-chashm-e-kheyaal mein woh jo khwaab thy, woh dhooaaN hoye
woh jo aag thi woh naheen rahi, jo yaqeen thy woh gumaaN hoye
koyi dhund he jissy dekhty meri aankh baraf si ho gayi
woh ibarat-e-sir-e-loh-e-dil, kissi rabt sy naheen aashna
keh jo roshni thi kitaab mein wohi harf harf si ho gayi
koyi gardbaad uthy kaheen, kissi zalzaly ki namood ho
yeh jo “hest” he mery chaar soo, koyi mohjaza keh yeh “bood” ho
meri aankh mein yeh jo raat he, meri umr si, issy taal dy
mery dasht-e-reeg-e-malaal ko kissi khushkhabri ka ghazzal dy
yeh falk pe jitny nujoom hain tery khukm ky hain yeh muntazir
woh jo subh-e-noo ka naqeeb ho meri samt us ko uchhaal dy**

HussaiN ke tarha aye ada karay koi
