divaana-vaar dauD ke koi lipaT na jaae — Yagana Changezi

parda-e-hijr vahi hasti-e-mauhum thi 'yaas'
sach hai pahle nahin maalum thaa ye raaz mujhe

jaras ne muzhda-e-manzil sunaa ke chaunkaayaa
nikal chalaa thaa dabe paanv kaarvaan apnaa

ajab kyaa hai ham aise garm-raftaaron ki Thokar se
zamaane ke buland-o-past kaa hamvaar ho jaanaa

vatan se kyaa ki havaa-e-vatan se hain bezaar
lipaT rahe jo bagulon se dasht-e-ghurbat ke

maut maangi thi khudaai to nahin maangi thi
le duaa kar chuke ab tark-e-duaa karte hain

nai zamin nayaa aasmaan nai duniyaa
ajiib shai ye tilism khayaal hotaa hai
