parda kahan se aye

bimar hain to ab dam-e-isa kahan se aye
us dil main dard-e-shauq-o-tamanna kahan se aye

bekar sharaa-e-lafz-o-ma'ani se kyaa faayeda
jab tu nahin to shahar main tujh sa kahan se aye

har chashm sang-e-khizb-o-adawat se surkh hai
ab admi ko zindagi karna kahan se aye

wahshat hawas ki chat gai khak-e-jism ko
be-dar gharon main shaql ka saya kahan se aye

jar se ukhar gaye to badalati ruton se kya
be-ab ainon main sarapa kahan se aye

sayon pe aitamad se ukta gaya hai ji
tufan main zindagi ka bharosa kahan se aye

gam k thapere le gaye nagin se lambe bal
raton main jangalon ka wo saya kahan se aye

"Naheed" faishanon ne chupaaye hain aib bhi
chashme na hoon to aankh ka parda kahan se aaye
