اَب کَہاں میرا،آنا جانا ہے
میرا گھر ہی مرا ٹھکانہ ہے
تیر پھینکا تو دو قدم تھا شکار
کیا شکاری ہے کیا نشانہ ہے
کوئ پہچانتا نہیں اب بھی
روز اُس گھر میں آنا جانا ہے
میں زَمانے کے ساتھ، چَل نہ سَکا
پیچھے، پیچھے، مرے، زمانہ ہے
اُس سے بے نام سا تعلق ایک
اَب یہی زیست کا بہانہ ہے
حاصل زیست کچھ نہیں اعجاز
بس یونہی عمر کا گنوانا ہے
