Talab...

ek qash mere jashn me lagaana chahiye thha
meri barbaadi ki mehfil thhi..tujhe aana chahiye thha

yeh kasuur thha talab ka k chahat bhi nakaam hui
maine basaya thha ek ghar...tujhe zamaana chahiye thha

wo ek arse se khamosh thha...magar aala zazb-farosh thha
meri aamad se qaatil bann gaya..usse nishaana chahiye thha

log bhi maayus thhe...samaan-e-guftagu na thha
mere janaazay me machal utthe...unhe fasana chahiye thha

abb bhi muskura raha hoga...wo bazm-e-raqeeb me masruuf
yeh dard-e-vasl usse bhi...aazmana chahiye thha

mere ashkon ko bhi aaj...ek manzil si mil gayi
mein samajhta raha mohabbat...inhe maikhana chahiye thha!
