آتم کتھا
وہ مجھ سے اس وقت بچھڑا تھا
جب آنکھوں کے سیپ خوابوں کے موتیوں کوترستے تھے
جب جسم و جاںپر رنگِ بہار نہیں چڑھا تھا
جب روح احساسِ کرب سے نا آشنا تھی
زندگی کی حقیقت کا ادراک نہیں تھا
کوئی دوست تھا نہ دشمن
اب میرے پاس سب کچھ ہے
یادیں ،محرومیاں ،اذیتیں
کیسے انمول کھلونے ہیں
مگر افسوس بے فکری کی دولت چھن گئی
