MANGETAR KA AAKHIRI KHAT

Bas gaye jumle tere is ahsaas ki tarah
meri iflaas zindgi meiN gauhr-o-almaas ki tarah

ik lafz ke saath 'ki khariyat se aa jaao'
khat-e-aakhir ke ta-abd alfaaz ki tarah

kitni justsu thi tumse tumheiN maNgne ki
dil ufaq meiN tha,rooh parwaaz ki tarah

tamam dauran-e-safar meiN meiN sochta rah jaoonga
hogi tum hu-bahu khatoN ke andaaz ki tarah

kaisa hisaar thi wo teri masoom dua
baarat ke muntazir mehmaNnawaz ki tarah

jahaN mera mahkati rahi khushbu tere khatoN ki
shaguftgi meiN kahiN jazb anfaaNs ki tarah

har khat ka tera khwab mere khwab se milta tha
ham khwab meiN bhi the hamnawaz ki tarah

tere khatoN ne raatoN ko kahkashaN banaya
tareekiyoN se beparwah,beniyaaz ki tarah

Meri muflisi ko meri saltanat bana diya
saf-e-qirtas pe likhke ek sartaaj ki tarah

par khatm khatoN ke ye silsile ho jayeNge
meiN tum saath hoNge,ye khat akele ho jayeNge.
