Poem:
Nadamat is par nahi woh mujhko na mila,
Nadamat is par hai phir mei kisiko na mila.
Itna waqt guzara mene ik darya k sirhanay,
Khud se kat-ta raha, par usmein na mila.
Dastak di to buhat aandhiyon k doraan,
Jab tak suna, khaki rait mei dhasa mila.
Kuch itna jaldi khil gaya teri taab mein,
K jab waqt-e-sahar hua to murjha mila.
Dhuundha usko kainaat mein ja-ba-ja,
Woh chilman mei chhup dharakta mila.
Senkron ushron tk nahi chala jis ka pata,
Woh gul kitab k aakhir mein chhuppa mila.
Manga nahi magar haal hogaya kuch aisa,
Kuch mila khairat mein, kuch sadqa mila.
Hum ko hai har ek ghoont ki ab qeemat,
Kia paimanay mei mila, kia phisalta mila.
Socha bach gaya khud kuch kawisho se,
Yahan aakhri tinka bhi tujh par fida mila.
Teri dosti mei koi kami thi shayad Sohani,
Uska to waqt tha, rukta dekha chalta mila.
— Dedicated to the beloved.
