ik nazar kaa fasaana hai duniyaa — Nushur Wahidi

duniyaa ki bahaaron se aankhein yuun pher liin jaane vaalon ne
jaise koi lambe qisse ko paDhte paDhte uktaa jaae

hazaar shama farozaan ho raushni ke liye
nazar nahin to andheraa hai aadmi ke liye

khaak aur khuun se ik shama jalaai hai 'nushur'
maut se ham ne bhi sikhi hai hayaat-aaraai

diyaa khaamosh hai lekin kisi kaa dil to jaltaa hai
chale aao jahaan tak raushni maalum hoti hai

sarak kar aa gaiin zulfein jo in makhmur aankhon tak
main ye samjhaa ki mai-khaane pe badli chhaai jaati hai

aghyaar ko gul-pairahani ham ne ataa ki
apne liye phulon kaa kafan ham ne banaayaa
