Aa ke patthar to mere sehen mein do chaar giray
Jitnay us pe.D ke phal thay pas-e-deevaar giray
Aisi dehshat thi fazaaon mein khulay paani ki
Aankh jhapki bhi nahin haath se patvaar giray
Mujhay girna hai to main apnay he qadmon mein giroon
Jis tarah saayaa-e-deevaar pe deevaar giray
Teergi chor gayee din mein ujaalay ke khutoot
Ye sitaaray mere ghar toot ke bekaar giray
Dekh kar apnay dar-o-baam laraz uthta hoon
Meray hamsaaye mein jab bhi koi deevaar giray
Vaqt ki dor Khuda jaanay kahan se tootay
Kis ghari sar pe ye latki hui talvaar giray
Ham se takra gayee khud barh ke andheray ki chataan
Ham sambhal kar jo bohot chaltay thay naachaar giray
Haath aaya nahin kuch raat ki daldal ke siva
Haaye kis mor pe khaabon ke parastaar giray
Kya kahoon deedaa-e-tar ye to mera chehra hai
Sang kat jaatay hain baarish ki jahan dhaar giray
Dekhtay kyoon ho Shakeb itni bulandi ki taraf
Na uthaaya karo sar ko keh ye dastaar giray
~Shakeb Jalali
